What is the benefit of a space cushion around your vehicle?

Keeping space around your vehicle is important to ensure that you have time to safely react if another driver makes a mistake. For example, extra space around your vehicle may give you time to brake or maneuver out of the way of a vehicle veering into your lane.

• Other drivers can cut in front of you, improving the flow of traffic.
• If another driver makes a mistake, you have time to react.
• It inflates to protect you from injury in the case of a collision.
