To keep your vehicle from being struck from behind:

It is a good idea to match the pace of surrounding traffic, within the legal speed limit. Driving with the flow of traffic keeps traffic moving and helps prevent rear-end collisions.

• Drive a little faster than surrounding traffic to widen the gap between you and the vehicle behind you.
• Brake harder than usual.
• Keep pace with surrounding traffic.
• Drive more slowly than surrounding traffic to maintain better control of your vehicle.
