Why doesn't anyone understand one of our most basic road rules?!?!?
If you are too close to the vehicle in front to be able to pull up to a stop behind them,under any circumstance, you are at fault.
If you are driving down the road with some dickhead on your arse and a child wanders out into the road, should you plough it over just so the moron behind doesn't crash his car?
Keeping a large gap between you & the car infront has more benifit than just avoiding a crash (although this would have to outweigh the rest), your visibility around the car infront is greatly increased, which makes it heaps easier to pick the better lane (when you're in the middle of 3) plus you usually have more options to change lanes.
This is not directly aimed at Rattlehead, please domt take offense to what I'm saying. I've just heard too many people go on about how it shouldn't be their fault and I just wish people could understand why.
The rule in NSW is to keep a 3 second gap between you & the car infront (2 seconds in every other state), which leaves plenty of braking space & time at any speed.
Now I know in traffic there is not much chance of keeping a gap that big in front of you without everyone jumping infront, but i's not hard to keep a safe distance.
