APIL gets animated

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has launched an amusing campaign against tailgating (driving too close to the car in front). It uses cartoons and social media to alert the public to the dangers of tailgating. Deborah Evans, chief executive of APIL, says: “All it achieves is suffering for the driver in front and probably a higher insurance premium for the offender. We’re simply asking motorists to back off.” A Lesson in Social Graces can be found on YouTube and Facebook
