Know a Tailgate Tom or a Too Close Tina? Following too closely isn't just rude, it's illegal and unsafe. Keep a safe distance so you can stop in time. Use the 4-second rule to keep space, signal early, and slow down in bad weather. Tailgating gets you nowhere faster. #ODOTsafe

THE LOOP: ODOT’s annual TeamUp event! https://t.co/H7oH082FbI

And they lived happily ever after. According to a crash analysis from ODOT, 2,614 crashes occurred between 2020 and 2022 when drivers failed to move over or slow down for a stationary vehicle with flashing lights. Ensure everyone gets their happily ever after by moving over.
