A word about astronauts!

Well paid and highly trainer astronauts don't need the skill of controlling the 'space' around their rockets - there is virtually no chance of them bumping into another spaceship coming the other way, nor of them being hit from behind by an impatient 'space boy racer'.! 

Drivers, on the other hand, need to keep a safe space between their vehicles and other road users, bollards, trees and walls, etc., all the time - the safety-bubble. 

You can think of a safety bubble as being something like a giant space helmet around your car - an invisible bubble. The following pages suggest ways in which you can work to maintain this 'safety cushion' at all times when driving.

Stay safe, get spaced out behind the wheel!
