Dangers of tailgating

Drivers have a responsibility to remain a reasonable distance behind other cars. The gap should remain wide enough that the driver can stop in time to avoid a crash. The amount of space depends on several factors, including speed, weather, traffic and road conditions. Drivers should adjust their speed to create more space in certain situations, such as:

Higher speeds of travel Wet or slick roadways Thick fog, rain or smoke Nighttime Dim lighting Traffic congestion

Narrow roadway with no shoulder Poorly maintained roads Likelihood of road debris after high winds Passing an accident or disabled vehicle Driving through a construction zone

Even under poor conditions, a driver who slams into your back fender is liable for damages.

Your options if you run into somebody from behind

Let our experienced Fort Myers accident attorneys fully review your rear-end collision case. We protect your rights to receive compensation from your insurance company even if you are found at fault.
