The basic rule of thumb is to have a 2 second gap between you and the vehicle in front in dry conditions.
- On a dry road, choose a point like a lamp post or road sign.
- When the vehicle in front passes that point, say out loud "Only a fool breaks the two-second rule".
- Check your position in relation to your chosen point as you finish saying this. If you have already passed the point, you are driving too close to the vehicle in front and need to pull back.
- In wet weather, double the distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you by saying "Only a fool breaks the two-second rule" twice.
