Following DistanceAre you part of the Slinky? You know; the group of vehicles that travel in packs. The speed is always changing; someone is always hitting his or her brakes. It is also know as the “sled dog” technique. Nose to Tail. The biggest problem is what you see or don’t see. Normally, you can’t see around or past someone if you’re following too closely. (Tailgating) By staying back a bit further you can easily compensate for changes in speed, simply by lifting off the throttle. If necessary, cover the brake in case you need to slow quicker to adjust your distance. It makes for a much more relaxed drive and you aren’t depending on the person’s brake lights in front of you. You’ll be able to see the whole picture well ahead of you. You will also get less wheel spray in wet or snowy conditions. Only in cities do people drive so closely to protect their position in traffic. A great trick is to drive in the right lane. No one ever seems eager to cut into the right lane. When stopping behind someone, leave enough room between you and the vehicle ahead to be able to “escape” in the case of someone going to hit you from the rear.
