Establish a safe following distance. This should range between 2 and 4 seconds depending on weather and other driving conditions. To determine this safe distance, watch the vehicle ahead of you pass a specific mark. Then count “one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two., etc.” If your front bumper passes the same mark before you finish counting, you’re following too closely.
Always leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the other vehicles around you. This space cushion protects you from others. Try to keep that space cushion on all sides of you— ahead, to each side, and behind.
If a vehicle is following you too closely, increase your following distance and increase your space cushion. When you stop near or behind a truck or other large vehicle align your vehicle so the other driver can see you. Remember—if you cannot see their mirrors, they cannot see you.
If your vehicle breaks down, drive your vehicle off the roadway as far as you can, whenever it is possible to do so. Then, signal for help by turning on your vehicle’s emergency flashers, tying a white handkerchief or scarf to the window or antenna, or by raising the vehicle’s hood and if possible, set out flares or portable warning signals.
Wait for help. Don’t walk along the freeway. Don’t accept help from strangers. Ask them to call the authorities. Be cautious if people who are not police officers, firefighters, or traffic control personnel signal for you to stop. If your car is bumped from behind in a secluded or dark area or if you are followed by a car and are not sure of their intentions, drive to the nearest well-lighted and busy public area, police department, or fire station and call for police assistance.
