Unpleasant to mention - Statistics sad and published each year / month / week / day by the Central Bureau of Statistics talking about the amount of dead and many wounded, without a thing as minor accidents. Besides the loss of life and injuries unnecessary, consider the economic aspect has involved the loss of a considerable fortune from the state budget designed to treat and compensate accident victims, evacuate the wounded, run hauling as well as fire engines and police cars and work to repair certain damages not to mention the loss of working hours, wasted fuel and air pollution in standing traffic (the list is long and endless). The total amount of costs is over 12 billion a year! this method does not provide an estimate of the distance between the actual vehicles or how far should maintain, in addition to and important to know that this method distracting the driver from the road which means that the method of counting may cause more harm than good. Currently there are no research data regarding the benefit / harm caused system. So what is the source of the real problem? Today presented data on the fastest driver that does not actually say anything to him. The concept mph is an abstract idea from the average driver and provides comparative data speed limit only, this figure does not provide information on the impact of speed or ads significance of speed. Tools available today are technological systems these and other expensive ones in the development and ongoing maintenance but still insufficient the right information that will enhance significantly the ads. In theory I can say how far will the vehicle for an hour at a constant speed in units of miles. In practice I do not remember when I could not ever go for an hour at a constant speed, and if I still do not have any concrete and relevant information on what is happening in terms of speed and distances in short terms and sellers where we have the information - for example Distance comment. By using these measurement units distances can understand the passing vehicle response time and at any other time - and to stimulate awareness of driver safety. The real distance method raises the level of awareness of driver safety by illustration and understanding and not by threats and thus greatly reduces the chances of involvement in a car accident. The real distance method, what is it? The method offers over the use of measurement units meter / second. When using the measurement units of meters / second is obtained at any given time a detailed presentation of the distance the vehicle passes every second units and sell real well. Initially, the new units will be added and will appear near the sustainability (mph), and then replace the existing brand. It is important to note that the change, the system offers, is performed in the perception on the part effortlessly driver - just figure appears on the scale familiar to him before. Understanding the distance - the transition to display new data is received at any time information about the vehicle speed goes tangible measurement units and sell. That is, the degree of distance that the vehicle will pass every second and which results in understanding how far will the vehicle until the start of the reaction. Most accidents are caused at a certain level due to lack of knowledge and understanding about what is happening. The combination of speed and understanding the concept of real distancing, automatically lead to the driver to stop and think before making distracting activities such as lighting a cigarette in the car, because the radio, etc ...
