Episode 18: Space Management and How to Avoid Tailgating (Unscripted Drive-Along)

In this unscripted, real-time driving episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked principles of safe driving: space management. Tailgating is one of the leading causes of rear-end crashes—and one of the easiest habits to fix.

Join me as I hit the road and talk through how to maintain safe following distances, use the 4-second rule, and avoid the aggressive driving patterns that lead to stress, traffic slowdowns, and unnecessary risk. No script—just practical advice, straight from the driver’s seat.

Whether you’re a daily commuter or weekend driver, this episode will help you build more awareness behind the wheel, reduce your chances of a crash, and stay calmer in traffic.
