Observation Speed SpaceStandalone practice
For ordinary passenger vehicles in good conditions, what minimum interval does the handbook's time-interval following method recommend?
A follows B on a road in good conditions, without a timer, roadside reference marker or stated speed.
Correct answer: At least three seconds
Why
Use at least three seconds as the handbook's good-condition time-interval check. Increase the gap for poor visibility, slippery roads or other hazards. Three seconds is not a guarantee that you can stop for every obstacle.
