ACCORDING TO RESEARCH by DriveCam, drivers who leave less than a two-second gap between their car and the car in front are almost three times more likely to cause collisions than those who leave two or more seconds between cars.
So, if you want to reduce your risk of being in a collision just remember the two-second rule:
When the vehicle immediately in front of you passes a point of reference, such as a sign or a bridge etc, say ‘Only a fool breaks the two-second rule’.
If you pass the reference point before you finish saying it, then you are too close and should increase the gap. Ideally, you should increase the gap to three seconds between cars.
If you are being tailgated, the best thing to do is let them pass as soon as you can, and if it’s safe to do so.
If you can’t let them pass the next best thing to do is: maintain the appropriate gap with the car in front and ease off the accelerator to slow down. Don’t brake harshly.
This may not deter the tailgater but if you do get rear-ended there’ll be less damage at a slower speed.

Why shouldn’t they know who is funding their NGO’s and media?
@Brian Boru: except that they already do this by law and that information is publicly available in Georgia.
@Rian Lynch: where did you see this?
The violence and aggression shown by rioting pro-EU thugs is disturbing, and makes one wonder whether this really is all about democracy versus authoritarianism. In any case, Georgia is not in Europe.
@Dick Barrett: It is in Europe – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Georgia_(country)?wprov=sfti1
@Dick Barrett: Georgia is west of the Ural mountain range. It is therefore in Europe.
Georgia is not an “authoritarian regime” as some are calling it but a Democracy . However , as the Georgians elected a government which the Neocons in Washington do not approve of , it is Regime Change Time . Incidentally , the proposed law which the fuss is allegedly about is modelled on America’s FARA Act . So what is good enough for the US is not good enough for Georgia !
paid young people oui…
