Tailgating

Tailgating is by far one of the most dangerous habits a driver can pick up.

Drivers are at the highest risk of rear-ending a vehicle when they are following less than 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front of them.

When drivers have to stop abruptly, tailgaters are often left with little or no time to brake.

Following too closely to the vehicle in front of you is asking for trouble, but fortunately there are some ways you can avoid a tailgating accident.

Keep a safe driving distance between you and the car in front of you.

How do you know what a safe distance is? Simply make it a point to put at least 10 feet per each 10 mph between you and the car in front of you.

So, if you are driving 45 mph, a safe driving distance would be about 40 feet. Driving at a higher rate of speed (say 70mph) would require a greater distance of at least 70 feet.

Another way of calculating a safe driving distance is by traveling at least 3 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. In other words, once the back of the vehicle you are following passes a marker, it should take at least 3 seconds for the front of your vehicle to reach the same marker.

Double this distance during adverse driving conditions, such as fog or rain. If you are being tailgated by an irresponsible driver, there are some steps you can take to reduce your chance of being rear-ended.

Keep in mind that most tailgaters are impatient and may simply wish to get around slower-moving traffic on the roadways.

If possible, move to a different lane and allow a tailgater to pass.

If that is not possible, maintain the speed limit and leave more than enough space between you and the vehicle in front of you.

You can also avoid tailgaters by driving in the right-hand lane of traffic, using the left lane only for passing.

Meh, another driver history profile training message / reminder.

I dunno y subcontractors are wasting $ on these monthly emails... when they can just use All. Good. Kids. Like. Milk

or, whatever happened to Survey. Adjust. Forecast. Execute.

Even though I transferred to a closer terminal and my commute is now 7 miles away instead of 30, I'm still seeing this and people on their cellphones on the daily.

Oh, and FXG drivers with no seat belt and both sliding doors open , sighs

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but how much does it cost to send an email?

It's not the monthly email program, it's the lack of initial training for FXG drivers.

That's y u see soon many incompetent Amazon style drivers out there.

Those subcontractors probably doesn't want to train them the correct way since it's a revolving door for some & not worth it ???

They'll chime in on the cost of this "safety program"
