Tailgating feels like a safe choice to many drivers because “everyone else is doing it.” But this false sense of security is one of the most dangerous habits on Vancouver roads. With less than a second to react, tailgaters leave no room for error—and errors happen all the time.
Rain, sudden stops, or distractions can trigger multi-car pileups in seconds. Following at a safe distance isn’t just about obeying best practices; it’s about protecting yourself and others from avoidable crashes. But pack mentality convinces drivers that they’re safer sticking close, even though the opposite is true.
At Cooper Driving School, we teach drivers how to break free from tailgating habits. Our stress-free driver training focuses on creating and maintaining a safe “bubble” around your car, giving you the time and space to react calmly to whatever comes your way.
