Get your free 'back off' car sticker

The Partnership is giving away free car stickers to help reduce the problem of tailgating.

The sticker, which can be placed in the rear window of the car says “Back off, I’m keeping my speed down!”.

Katherine Barrett the Partnership's Communications Officer said: “We often hear from motorists who say they stick within the speed limit but feel constantly threatened by drivers ‘sitting’ directly behind them in an attempt to push them to drive faster. They say the only way they feel they can escape the threat is to speed up. This not only means they might end up breaking the law by exceeding the legal limit but that if they do have a crash their injuries will be a lot more severe compared to if they stuck within the limit.”

Katherine added: “We give the stickers out at the events we go to and they have proved extremely popular.”
