Northern Safety Camera Partnership deployment intentions w/c 1 October 2012

Northern Safety Camera Partnership Manager, Dougie Bennion, said: “This week the Partnership is flagging up the importance of maintaining stopping distances because it has been identified through the lens of the cameras that it is a continuing concern.

“Stopping distances preserve the space required between vehicles to allow drivers to stop safely if required and the recommended stopping distances should be at least doubled on wet roads. Remember, only a fool breaks the 2 second rule.”

Road Safety Scotland website ‘Get in Lane’ contains information and a driving game related to the ‘2 Second Rule’:-

Watch the vehicle in front of you pass a landmark - such as a sign or tree at the side of the road. As it passes the landmark, start counting “one thousand and one, one thousand and two” or say “only a fool breaks the two-second rule”.

If you pass the landmark before you finish saying all eight words, you are following too closely. Slow down, pick another landmark and repeat the words, to make sure you have increased your following distance.

The good thing about the ‘2-second rule’ is it ensures you keep the correct following distance, no matter what speed you are travelling at.

When towing a trailer or the road surface is wet or slippery, increase your following distance by counting out to 4 seconds.
