In dry weather how might a driver judge what is a safe following distance to vehicle in front?

  1. By allowing at least two vehicle lengths between the vehicles.
  2. By using a fixed point and applying the two second rule.
  3. Drive at the same speed as the vehicle in front.
  4. Allow a least two vehicle lengths for each kilometre per hour.

Correct Answer

By using a fixed point and applying the two second rule.

Explanation: A driver can judge a safe distance from the vehicle in front by using the two second rule. This is measured by picking a fixed point. As the vehicle in front passes it; begin saying ?only a fool breaks the two second rule?. If you pass the fixed point before you have finished the phrase; then your vehicle is too close; safely slow and increase your distance from the vehicle in front.
