The safe following distance is one car length for each 10 miles per hour. If you are traveling at 40 mph, one should allow a minimum of 4 car lengths between you and the traveling object in front of you. Allow more room for a motorcycle in case they wipe out (fall and crash) in front of you.

2 to 5 seconds, depending on what speed you are travelling and the weight of your vehicle. The faster you go or the heavier your vehicle is, the more distance you should have between vehicles. Check the time by taking note of some landmark such as a sign or overpass, and when the car in front reaches it, start counting seconds. When you pass that same landmark, stop counting. If you're doing city speeds (around 30mph/50kph), you should have 2 or 3 seconds between. At highway speeds (around 60mph/100kph), you should have more like 5 seconds between.
