Welcome
TailGating
makes our journeys miserable - feeling the pressure of someone driving
too close for the speed that you're travelling at adds to the pressure
of driving, and it also increases the chances of us, and them, being
involved in a road accident.
Safe following is defined in the Highway Code as "at least
a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front" - this
translates to 25 yards at 30mph, 49 yards at 50mph and 68 yards
at 70mph. The problem is that most drivers are ignorant of these
distances and, even if they knew them, wouldn't be able to judge
them on the road.
A TailGuardian sign goes a long way to solving this problem. The
sign's unique design delivers a message to other drivers to pull
back only when they are venturing into an unsafe following distance
- outside that, the message is invisible.
In recent trials with a national transport organisation, TailGuardian
was seen to cut rear collisions by 60%.
TailGuardian signs are in use with: Stagecoach (750 coaches), Arriva
(1200 buses), The Highways Agency (7000 vehicles), Driving Schools
(1300 vehicles) and thousands of other smaller organisations and
individual car owners.
