In 2006 there were 122,347 reported crashes causing death or injury on Britain's roads in which the first point of contact on the vehicle was at the rear. 179 people died, 1,783 were seriously injured and 49,813 were slightly injured.

One major factor is the driving population's lack of knowledge of the safe following distances at different speeds - another is their inability to judge such distances accurately.

TailGuardian is a unique warning system that informs following vehicle when they are too close. In trials with a national bus company, TailGuardian was shown to have effected a 60% decrease in rear collisions.

TailGuardian signs are available in a number of standard layouts for use on buses, trailers, vans and cars - should you have a fleet of vehicles and need a bespoke design, talk to us and we'll do a bespoke design to match vehicle livery.
