Almost 50 years since I passed my test and I stay back further with each passing year.Big Nick wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:23The 40-50yo age range who are a long time past their driving test and have got into bad driving habits?skiddaw05 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:07Especially the space invader!Patrick Harper wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:28 I guess 'only a fool breaks the two-second rule' got a bit archaic.
TBH I quite like the webpage though.
Can one infer the demographic at whom this is aimed from this?
Which could be me....

Nope, they've been showing on multiple gantries on the M6 between J2-6 at least this week.Chris Bertram wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 17:25Really? I cannot recall seeing this anywhere. Has the Birmingham area been excluded?

Not sure why you'd be amazed, especially given the campaign's webpage, endcap of the TV commercial and other materials feature a copyright notice that states "© TAITO CORPORATION 1978, 2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED", which rather suggests permission has been sought and granted.

Re: Stay Back - Stay Safe
I recently saw a YouTube film made by a lad who's just passed his Swedish driving test, where he drives round the route he was given on his test and comments on what he did right, what he could have done better (not a huge amount, since he passed) and what manoeuvres etc. he was asked to perform. Never having taken a Swedish test, I was interested to see what the differences are compared to the UK (either from my own test 30 years ago or what I've gleaned from e.g. Ashley Neal). One difference that struck me is that the standard rule of thumb for following traffic here is apparently to keep three seconds between you and it in normal, daylight, dry conditions.

Re: Stay Back - Stay Safe
And not even powerful versions; as soon as the car in front of me moves over, I find that I can often outrun the idiot who was tailgating behind.
It never seems to enter their heads that I might be waiting to pass the car in front of me (probably because I'm not tailgating it), let alone that I might be faster than them once the road is clear.

Re: Stay Back - Stay Safe
Got to say this phrase is not obvious enough, what about Don't Tailgate instead.
I initially thought it was something to do with being younger in the back seat with a close partner....

Re: Stay Back - Stay Safe
There will be people convinced that what they do isn’t tailgating, so telling them not to won’t help.Norfolktolancashire wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 21:54 Got to say this phrase is not obvious enough, what about Don't Tailgate instead.
