The recommended space between two vehicles should be at least three seconds under ideal driving conditions. This allows sufficient time to react to sudden stops or emergencies. In adverse weather conditions or when driving at higher speeds, increasing the following distance to four or more seconds is advisable for safety. Always adjust the distance based on road and traffic conditions.
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.
about 2 seconds
At minimum 3 seconds. If the road conditions are adverse, it should be 5 seconds or more.
yes.
Two seconds.
The rule of thumb is: Prefered is Four seconds, Minimum 2 seconds. If you are texting: Prefered 4 Hours Minimum 2 hours

If it is raining and you are tired, you probably should not be driving - you are a hazard to yourself and other drivers when you drive in those conditions. However, if you must drive, keep a solid 10 to 15 seconds of following distance between you and the next car on the road.
In good weather and clear visibility, drivers should maintain a minimum following distance of at least three seconds to allow sufficient time to react to any sudden changes in traffic conditions. This distance should be increased during adverse weather or when driving at higher speeds.
When driving, you should always measure your following distance in seconds. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a following distance of at least 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This distance allows you enough time to react and brake safely in case of an emergency.
