ORLANDO, Fla. – Tailgating -- following too closely while driving -- is the leading cause to road rage and crashes.
I cannot begin to tell you how many people have told me while I’m investigating crashes that the vehicle in front of them just suddenly stopped. Well, if you follow at a safe distance, it would give you time to properly react to anything that occurs in front of you.
On the Thursday edition of Trooper Steve On Patrol, we will talk about following too closely (FL ST 316.0895) and the proper distance we should consider when traveling, whether it be on a highway or a residential road.
