A safe distance is one car length for every 10 miles per hour. If you were traveling at 50 miles per hour, one should maintain a distance of 5 car lengths between you and the car in front of you.
This safety margin allows for proper time to stop your car in case the car in front suddenly stops. Besides, you will get to your destination no faster if you are sitting on the car's tailpipe in front of you. Back off and enjoy the ride.

When driving behind another vehicle, it's important to maintain a safe following distance to ensure you have enough time to react to sudden stops. A common guideline is to keep a distance where you can see the tires of the car in front of you touching the road, which typically indicates sufficient space. However, this distance can vary depending on speed, road conditions, and weather, so always adjust accordingly to maintain safety.

Can a vehicle in front of you on the highway be going the same speed as you if you keep the same distance apart?
Yes because if the car in front of you was going faster, the distance between the vehicle your in and the one in front of you would grow but, if the car was going slower than the speed your going, the vehicle will become closer. :)

Look past the car ahead of you for obstacles and brake lights from the car in front of the one you're following.
