Scientists have developed a clever system that warns motorists when they"re tailgating. The "back off" plate, positioned in the rear screen, displays the digits seven, five and three in decreasing size. Anyone who can read the seven at 70mph is too close, likewise with five at 50mph and three at 30mph.

ABD Road safety spokesman Mark McArthur-Christie explained: "Whilst this law will give just retribution for those killed by such drivers, it will not make the roads safer. Most who drive in a careless manner simply do not believe they are going to kill somebody so will not adjust their habits. The real and serious problem of drivers not taking care will therefore remain unaddressed. The ABD have for many years called for the police and the judicial system to crack down on careless drivers before they kill using the perfectly adequate existing laws. Sadly, prosecutions for careless driving are not taken seriously by the court system and the police are therefore reluctant to take careless drivers to court. Prosecutions therefore remain extremely rare."
