A CAMPAIGN to stop drivers driving too close to the car in front has been launched in Huddersfield.
The Stick To The Limit campaign is the brainchild of Melanie Greenwood, a mum from Bristol.
Mrs Greenwood was sick of motorists trying to force her to break the speed limit by driving too close behind.
So she made a sticker - depicting a black speed camera within a red warning circle - to stick in the back window of her car.
She said: "I can't go any faster than the speed limit now because I've already got points on my licence from speed cameras.
"But other drivers don't know that. I've noticed that some people get very angry if they're sat behind a driver who is sticking to the speed limit.
"This sticker is a way of telling the driver behind that you will not break the speed limit."
Mrs Greenwood's campaign has taken off in the south of England and she is hoping it will catch on just as strongly in Huddersfield.
"The more these stickers are displayed the stronger the message will become," she said.
Mrs Greenwood said her campaign ties in well with national Road Safety Awareness Week, being run from November 8 to 14 by Huddersfield-based charity Brake.
But a spokeswoman for Brake said the charity is not linked to Mrs Greenwood's campaign.
She added: "It is not something we are associated with. I'm not sure that stickers are incredibly effective.
"It also seems to give the impression that it is more about stopping people getting points on their licence rather than safety."
