Best Answer

The standard used to be one car length for every 10 miles-per-hour of speed. However, the US Department of Transportation has amended this rule-of-thumb to the two-second rule -- the front of your car should be two seconds from the back of the car in front of you as measured by a stationary point on the road. When stopped at a stop light, you should keep at least one car length between you and the car in front of you.
