How to Avoid Rear-End Collisions on Highways?
1 Answers
Avoiding rear-end collisions on highways: 1. Remind the following vehicle to maintain a safe distance. If you notice the car behind is following too closely, lightly tap your brakes to alert them. If traffic ahead is dense and moving slowly, turn on your hazard lights to warn following vehicles; 2. Don't follow too closely - maintain safe distances both from vehicles ahead and behind; 3. Learn to use progressive braking to leave space for others. When braking, try to brake progressively. This not only alerts following vehicles but also provides them with reaction time and buffer distance, reducing the chance of being rear-ended; 4. Stagger your view in traffic. Avoid driving directly behind another vehicle's rear - position yourself slightly left or right. This allows you to observe the driving conditions of the car ahead and see further ahead, enabling early warning.
