Leading cause of Vehicle Accidents: Following Too Closely.
County Police investigated 2,004 Accidents in 2007; 814(40%) were rear-end collisions of which 600 (30%) were drivers following too closely, and 1,905 Accidents in 2006; 835 (43%) were rear-end collisions of which 601 (31%) of drivers were Following Too Closely.
The Two Seconds-Too Close Rule does prevent accidents. When the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of you passes a fixed object, count "one-thousand one, one-thousand two" and if your front bumper arrives at the same location at or within two seconds, your two seconds-too close.
Please be safe. Matt Doering, Chief of Policemjdoering39469.3875578704
