One car length for every ten miles per hour is a rule, two seconds is another rule, but in the rain, 3-5 seconds. Pick out a stationary object on the road as you drive. When the car ahead of you passes that object, start counting; you shouldn't reach that object until five seconds have passed. A good rule is you should feel comfortable about having a smooth stop if that car suddenly brakes hard. If this is for a motor vehicle test, I'd say 3-5 seconds.
