More than 2, pedestrians are injured or killed each year. The more you exceed the speed the limit, the more your risk of a crash.
Speed-related crashes can be avoided if you give yourself time and space to scan for, detect and react to hazards. Some advice:. Controlling your speed is your responsibility. Pick a stationary object the car in front passes e. You should pass the same object as you count three or after. These techniques automatically adjust for your speed increasing the gap as you go faster.
You should use the 4-second rule to increase the gap and safety in poor conditions including rain, fog, icy roads or night driving. Although these might seem like large gaps, remember that rear-end collisions are the most common crash types, so the gaps are necessary to avoid crashes. A space cushion allows a safe distance should you need to brake or change direction, potentially allowing you to avoid a collision. You should keep at least 1 metre between your vehicle and other moving or stationary vehicles in case someone opens their door unexpectedly.
This also protects vulnerable road users, reducing your chances of hitting them. Try to avoid having a vehicle on either side of you on multi-lane roads as your vision is impeded and your only option is to brake hard for a hazard in front of you. Managing the space behind you is difficult as it mainly relies on the driver behind you.
This will give you more time to slow down gradually for a hazard and will reduce the risk they will run into you.
