Look Up - Stay Back… a simple slogan however when applied can save your life.

Crashing into a vehicle in front is one of the most common crashes for young drivers that can be easily avoided.

Faced with many distractions and the inexperience of estimating speed and distance, young drivers are at far greater risk than most. International research identifies the first year of driving as being the highest risk year.

However by simply scanning further ahead to identify potential hazards (Look Up) and staying back from the car in front at least 2 or 3 seconds (Stay Back) gives young drivers more time to respond and greater space to react should an incident occur helping you to avoid nose to tail crashes.
