Poster: SPOT THE PEA-BRAIN
MOMENTUM EXISTS – KEEP YOUR DISTANCE

This poster challenges the unsafe practice of ”tailgating”….. In this example, scooter riders traveling too close to the vehicle in front of them (even vans behind which they cannot see what is happening ahead – at all)…… This poster is designed to stimulate thought to consider appropriate spacing, to allow a safe stopping distances.

This posters relation to momentum is:
* It is safe to loose a moving vehicle’s momentum, by braking, in a controlled manner….. for which you need a safe distance.
* It is unsafe to loose a moving vehicle’s momentum, by slamming into the vehicle in front….. transferring some of your momentum to that vehicle to loose what was your momentum….. for you.

Momentum Explained, in 3 easy parts:
For an explanation of momentum, relating to road safety….. momentum has been honed, simply, into 3 easy parts….. found in the category: Momentum Explained

ME01. Momentum is a quantity….. you have ‘none’ or you have ‘some’.
ME02. Momentum is obtained & lost….. you ‘dial it up’ and you ‘dial it down’.
ME03. Momentum is variable….. you change the mass and/or you change the velocity.

For this poster: Spot The Pea-Brain:
ME01 & ME02 are relevant….. ME03 is useful

The initial goals (all images) are:
1. To stimulate… Awareness to momentum and its presence on our roads.
2. To stimulate… Discussion and argument (debate) from road users, in response to seeing this image and being aware of the accompanying explanations available.

Two questions are asked of this poster:
1. If you knew what momentum was…. would you recognise the poster to be correct?
2. Would you agree, momentum is relevant to road safety?

Enquiries, questions, etc… can be expressed on the website contact form and/or the facebook post page.
