Use _________ to maintain a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you.
Correct answer
- the two-second rule
- the one-second rule
- the three-second rule
Explanation
A good way to measure your safe following distance is to use the three-second rule. Choose a stationary object such as a sign or telephone pole. As the vehicle ahead of you passes it, start to count slowly, "One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three." If you reach the object before you finish counting, you are too close to the vehicle ahead.
