The rule of thumb is to stay three car lengths behind in order to have enough time to react safely if the vehicle in front behaves unexpectedly e.g. hard braking.

Be prepared for sudden stops by keeping a cushion between you and the vehicle ahead
The 2-second rule is a safe driving practice that recommends staying at least 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. This allows for enough time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic flow.
Not applying enough pressure to the accelerator. Or driving in heavy traffic.
One common consideration in freeway driving is maintaining a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you. This helps prevent accidents and allows for enough time to react to sudden changes in traffic.
Not enough, if at all.
no unless it has enough force
Far enough that you could go around it without backing up, in case the one in front stalls or there is an emergency. It's difficult to put that in to a measurement of feet.
Yes. Providing the adult is old enough and has a valid drivers license
You should allow at least 4 seconds of following distance when driving a 30-foot vehicle at 55 mph. This provides enough time to react to any sudden changes in traffic ahead and helps prevent rear-end collisions.
The merging vehicle and that of any driver on the road must slow down to allow you to merge in safely. They will need to adjust their carÕs speed and position in the road. You must yield to any vehicle that is too far ahead for them to allow you into the flow into traffic. Some cars do not give room for others cars to merge into traffic. So watch and make sure there is enough distance ahead and behind for you to move.
Usually car that only overheat in traffic have a radiator fan that does not work. It will not over heat while driving because their is enough air flow.
