Following Too Closely

Truck Under Ride Accident Attorney

Indiana Truck Accident Injury Lawyers

Truck driver tailgating, or following too closely, is a serious traffic offense that results in thousands of deaths and serious injuries on our nation's highways every year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that aggressive driving, including following too closely, is the second leading violation committed by commercial truck drivers. Because of the large size and weight of semi tractor trailers, dump trucks, and other heavy over-the-road equipment, stopping time increases dramatically. The truck driver often cannot bring the large vehicle to a complete stop quickly enough to prevent a serious rear end collision or jackknife. When the commercial truck is carrying hazardous materials in bad weather, the problems increase.

"The average stopping distance for a loaded tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph is 196 feet, compared with 133 feet for an automobile."
