What is the recommended following distance between vehicles under ideal driving conditions according to Utah's basic driving guide?
Under ideal driving conditions, maintaining a following distance of at least 2 seconds allows drivers enough time to react to sudden changes in traffic or road conditions. This distance provides a safe buffer to prevent rear-end collisions, offering sufficient time to stop or maneuver if the vehicle ahead brakes abruptly.
