How much space is required between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you?

1-2 car lengths
3 seconds
1 second
4 car lengths

The correct answer is: 3 seconds

Your answer is incorrect because estimating distance in car lengths can be deceiving since car lengths vary. Option C of 1 second is also an incorrect answer because it is not enough time to react in case of an emergency. Option D of 4 car lengths is also incorrect because it may not leave enough space for other vehicles to merge or pass. The best option is B, as it allows for a buffer time of 3 seconds, giving you enough time to react and stop if necessary. This also applies to wet or slippery roads, where more distance is needed for a safe stop.
