Why is everyone in such a hurry?

I may be imagining things but as years go by, it seems like eveybody on the road is in more and more of a hurry to get somewhere all the time.


Some may have a reason to be in a hurry, maybe they are late for work, there could be a medical emergency or maybe they just really really have to pee.


 Whatever the reason, don't let your situation effect the safety of others on the road


Make sure your following distance is sufficient (Two seconds between vehicles as a minimum)



 Don't let your thoughts or anything else in your vehicle distract you from the dangers of the road

 

Everyone wants to get home safe after all.

Back Off - Keep your distance

Just a Reminder to leave lots of room between vehicles on the highway and other roadways.


Most of the accidents I see are because someone was too close to someone else or traveling too fast and did not have enough time to react to slowing or stopping traffic.


I have always recommended 2 to 3 seconds between vehicles to allow safe reaction time.
 

Extra distance should be added in poor weather conditions along with lower speeds in general to make it a little safer for everybody on the road.

Drive safe, make sure everyone gets there.
