constitutes a safe distance between motor vehicles, much has been written about the “Two Second Rule." This means a motorist should leave a space between himself and the car ahead large enough so that he passes a certain point in the road—a sign or something—two seconds after the car ahead.
At highway speeds approaching 55 miles per hour (and sarnie motorists obviously drive faster), two seconds may not be a sufficient amount of time, particuarly considering that reaction time is something approaching three-quarters of a second.
The more appropriate safe following distance is one car length for every 10 miles per hour. At 55 miles per hour, a driver then has five and a half car lengths between him and the car ahead.
However, most tailgailers know when they’re following too closely—they can read the lips of the driver ahead in his rearview mirror.
