What is the advised minimum time gap to keep between your vehicle and others in typical weather and traffic?
Maintaining a larger gap between your vehicle and others provides extra time to respond to sudden changes caused by other drivers. In standard weather and traffic conditions, a minimum following interval of three seconds is advised. This distance should be extended when facing adverse weather or heavy traffic.
