I learned the two seconds rule, actually. And from personal experience, that seems quite enough.three seconds would out rather large distances that tend to fill up with other cars
Just saying that the two (or three,) second rule can be applied anywhere and everywhere
Really? You should probably go for the three second rule though, since the average reaction time seems to be 1-1.5s. That will not give you time enough to stop if needed.
I do agree with other drivers being idiots and not leaving enough room though, it’s really annoying.
I have actually never heard of the 3 second rule, just 2 as I was taught in the Netherlands. and believe me, driving rules in the Netherlands are rigourous.
In practice it depends where you drive. 3 second rule in the Netherlands might work. In Canada maybe, in Mexico definitely not (there they have the .1 seconds rule and a LOT of head tail collisions)
Fwiw, it’s the three-second rule. And why not use a visual help when there is one?
