The Delaware Driver Manual recommends following the three-second rule to avoid

Correct answer

  • hydroplaning.
  • rear-end collisions.
  • glare.

Explanation

A frequent cause of rear-end collisions is tailgating (following too closely). Often the vehicle ahead slows down suddenly, and the tailgater doesn't have enough room to avoid colliding with it. To avoid this, the Delaware Driver Manual recommends that you maintain a three-second following distance under ideal driving conditions and a larger following distance under adverse driving conditions.
