Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: Stop Tailgating!

Once again we have another tragic wreck on the highway caused by tailgating. This time two trucks were involved. The first truck slowed down because of some sort of mechanical malfunction. The second truck was obviously too close to slow down in time and crashed into the first vehicle.
The lesson here, again, don't follow too closely! Make sure you have plenty of time to react to the vehicle in front. We're not in a NASCAR event! Slow down! Remember the two second rule. Watch the vehicle pass a certain mark or object. Count and make sure that you don't pass that mark in less than two seconds. That's the two second rule. It's really simple and it could save your life!
