The good news is if we can eliminate one of the three contributing factors, we can significantly reduce the chances of a rear-end crash. The most important way to reduce the risk of a rear-end crash is to not engage in risky behaviors or perform risky maneuvers. Fortunately, this is easy for you to control. Be sure to follow posted speed limits and maintain a minimum following distance of three seconds. Three seconds will give you enough time to safely respond to any surprise event.
