Q #425 - In heavy motorway traffic, the vehicle behind you is following too closely. How can you lower the risk of a collision?
On busy roads, traffic may still travel at high speeds despite being close together. Don't follow the vehicle in front too closely. If a driver behind seems to be 'pushing' you, gradually increase your distance from the vehicle in front by slowing down gently. This will give you more space in front if you have to brake, and will reduce the risk of a collision involving several vehicles.
Increase your distance from the vehicle in front
Brake sharply
Switch on your hazard warning lights
Move onto the hard shoulder and stop
