Northern Safety Camera Partnership deployment intentions w/c 14 October 2013

Northern Safety Camera Partnership Manager, Dougie Bennion, said: “This week the Partnership is flagging up the importance of maintaining stopping distances.

“Stopping distances preserve the space 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 the vehicle in front passes the landmark, start counting.
§ If you pass the landmark within 2 seconds, you are following too closely.
§ If you are towing a trailer or the road surface is wet or slippery, increase your distance by counting to 4 seconds.
