What can you do to avoid the need to make emergency stops while driving in traffic?

Keeping a safe following distance will enable you to react to an upcoming problem without the need for a emergency stop, which could cause a driver behind you to crash into the back of your vehicle.

• Honk your horn to make others aware of your presence.
• Look ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
• Drive in the right lane only.
• Drive more slowly than the flow of traffic.
