What is Avoiding Rear-End Collisions – Light Vehicles?

Rear-end collisions often happen in seconds, but the habits that prevent them are built long before you’re behind the wheel. This course gives drivers a clear look at the common behaviours and conditions that lead to these incidents, along with practical techniques to stay alert and maintain safe space on the road. With simple guidance and real-world examples, learners gain the awareness and driving discipline needed to avoid sudden stops, reduce close-following risks, and handle changing road environments with more confidence.

Course Overview

Rear-end collisions are among the most common and preventable types of vehicle accidents. Avoiding Rear-End Collisions – Light Vehicles focuses on the key causes of these incidents and provides strategies drivers can use to reduce their risk on the road.

Learners will explore the factors that contribute to rear-end collisions—such as distraction, tailgating, and fatigue—and discover safe driving habits to protect themselves and others. The course emphasizes awareness, reaction time, and responsible driving practices for light commercial vehicle operators and everyday drivers alike.

Topic Overview
