Systems and methods are provided for improved collision prevention. Systems and methods may provide for the prevention of rear-end vehicle collisions by locking the forward movement of the throttle pedal when a threshold is reached. An end stop or mechanical linkage may completely lock the throttle pedal in situations in which continued acceleration is likely to result in a rear-end collision. The systems and methods disclosed herein may provide from a complete locking of the throttle pedal which may physically avoid or eliminate a rear-end collision due to improper throttle actuation. The systems and methods disclosed herein may also improve a driver's mental model for safe driving by teaching a driver that certain maneuvers are not available in certain conditions.
