What phrase is recommended for drivers to help them determine a safe distance from the vehicle in front on a dry road?

  1. ?Only a fool breaks the one second rule.?
  2. ?Only a fool breaks the four second rule.?
  3. ?Only a fool breaks the two second rule.?
  4. ?Only a fool breaks the three second rule.?

Correct Answer

?Only a fool breaks 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.
