What is the minimum distance (in seconds) you should maintain between you and the vehicle ahead?

1 second
2 seconds
3 seconds
4 seconds

The correct answer is: 2 seconds

Maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead is crucial for safe driving. This distance accounts for the time it would take for you to react and come to a complete stop in case of any sudden changes or obstacles on the road. Option A, 1 second, is insufficient as it does not provide enough reaction time. Option C, 3 seconds, and Option D, 4 seconds, are also not recommended as they also do not allow for enough reaction time and may increase the risk of collisions or accidents. Option B, 2 seconds, is the recommended minimum distance as it gives enough time to react and stop safely. However, it is important to note that in adverse weather or road conditions, this distance should be increased to ensure safety.
