Speed, following distance and driver signalsStandalone practice
When should you leave more than a two-second following distance?
A schematic shows blue car A behind silver car B, both facing right. The plain diagram background shows no road surface, weather or surrounding traffic. No distance or time is measured.
Correct answer: When it is harder to see or stop
Why
Two seconds is a minimum for ideal conditions. Leave more space in bad weather, when carrying a heavy load, or behind motorcycles and large trucks.
