Margin of Safety in Tailgating Deaths in Canada and U S
The Manitoba Motor League warns tailgating causes more daytime crashes than knife murders. Rear-end collisions now exceed forty percent of daytime accidents in Canada and the United States. Officials urge two and a half car lengths per ten mph in good weather, doubling in bad. At 60 mph the gap should be about 250 feet. The league calls for awareness and safe following distances.
