Leave enough room between your vehicle and the one
ahead so you can stop safely if the other vehicle stops
suddenly. Brake early and gently when you prepare to
stop or turn. It gives drivers behind you plenty of warning
that you plan to decrease your speed.
For a good "space cushion," use the two-second rule:
Select an object near or above the road ahead, like a sign,
tree, or overpass. As the vehicle ahead passes it, count
slowly, "one thousand one, one thousand two." If you
reach the same object before you finish the count, you are
following too closely. In bad weather and when following
large trucks, increase the count to at least three or four
seconds for additional space.
If a driver follows you too closely (tailgates), move to
another lane if possible, or reduce speed and pull off the
road to let the driver go by. Make sure to signal when you
drive off the road and when you return to it.
