Welcome
With one in four of all road traffic accidents caused directly by
drivers following too closely to the vehicle in front, protecting
your vehicle, yourself and your passengers is of very great importance.
One major factor is the driving population's lack of knowledge of
the safe following distances at different speeds - the other is
their inability to judge such distances accurately.
These factors are not only causing unnecessary deaths and injuries
but also higher insurance premiums for vehicle owners and many lost
work days due to injury.
TailGuardian 'intelligently' delivers advice to other drivers. All
traffic following your vehicle are warned when they are about to
breach the safe distance.
TailGuardian delivers its message, without batteries or electronics,
by exploiting the method that the brain uses to process what the
eyes see. The brain's neural pathways block certain tones, colours
and fine detail to be able to quickly understand what it is looking
at. TailGuardian signs use this perception threshhold to make the
message invisible outside set distances, becoming visible only when
necessary.
The unique 'switching on' of the message makes other road users
take notice and pull back until it is safe.
TailGuardian has the backing of Brake, the Road Safety Charity,
who recently recognised the product with a Fleet Safety Product
award for 2009. It has also the endorsement of Stagecoach UK Bus
- who have applied TailGuardians to their entire fleet of over 600
coaches across their UK network - as well as Scottish CityLink coaches
and, more recently, The Bethell Group plc.
As part of Road Safety Week 2009, TailGuardian is being made available
for the first time for cars as well as for vans, HGVs and Buses.
