Right phrase?

Hi

I am finding it hard to coin a expression which expresses the idea on how a vehicle should follow another safely.

The expression is for the list of contents.

I thought of "safe following" but it seemed odd. Can you suggest one which sounds natural and idiomatic?

Hi, How about 'Don't tailgate another vehicle' ? To tailgate is to follow too closely. Clive

Thanks, Clive. I have learnt a new verb.

Clive, this looks like an instruction.

Actually the expression is to convey that the relevant section will have information on how safely the driver should drive while he is following another vehicle.

Hi,

Perhaps this?

Driving safely behind another vehicle

Or just

Driving behind another vehicle
