    Cliff Notes

    • Over 140 casualties occur annually in England due to tailgating, a driving behaviour where vehicles do not maintain safe distance.
    • National Highways reports that tailgating contributes to at least one in eight motorway and major A-road collisions, prompting a new safety campaign.
    • Motorists are advised to maintain a two-second gap on dry roads and four seconds in wet conditions, with tailgating offences resulting in fines and potential driving bans.

    More than 140 killed or injured in tailgating incidents each year | UK News

    More than 140 people are killed or seriously injured in tailgating incidents in England each year, according to research.

    Tailgating is when a driver does not leave the proper space between themselves and the vehicle in front of them if it were to suddenly break.

    It is a factor in at least one in eight collisions on England’s motorways and major A-roads, according to National Highways.

    The agency has launched a campaign aimed at tackling the dangerous behaviour.

    It highlighted that while 43% of drivers admit to tailgating, 60% say they are anxious when it is done to them.
