Summer Driving Safety Tip #11: Embrace the Three Second Rule.

Everything’s easier when you have a mantra to remember. Even driving!

The Three Second Rule is simple: stay 3 seconds behind the vehicle ahead of you.

In the event you need to brake quickly, 3 seconds can be the difference between stopping in time and a rear-end collision.

Giving yourself 3 seconds worth of space between vehicles not only gives you enough time to slow or stop in an emergency, it offers better visibility of the road and more room for changing lanes and reacting to road obstructions, changes in traffic, and more.

Injured in a rear-end collision because the driver behind you was tailgating? We’re here to help.
