SPACE Invaders stickers are being offered for free by Highways England as part of a new road safety campaign.

The company, that maintains England's motorways and A-roads, is using the 1978 arcade video game to highlight the dangers of 'space invading' (tailgating).

On the Highways England website it says: "Driving isn’t a game. Tailgating causes accidents – and you don’t get an extra life in the real world."

Tailgating is a factor in one in eight casualties on the road network and in 2016 it was the third most common contributory factor in deaths and serious injuries on UK motorways.

You can order up to three or if you run a fleet of vehicles you can contact Highways England for a bulk order.
