That would depend on the speed at which you are moving, remembering that stopping distances are multiplied by 2 for stopping distances in rain.

Answer 2:

My rule of thumb for dry roads is to notice a reference (light pole, guard rail, etc.) beside the car in-front, there should be two full seconds before you reach the reference -- I count to myself, one-thousand one, one-thousand two, this is roughly two seconds (others say one Mississippi, two Mississippi to count off seconds). For wet pavement I try to use a four second count. In a driving rain it's sometimes difficult to see a reference that far ahead. I think the rule for dry pavement is to stay one car length behind for ever 10 miles per hour you're traveling. I can't estimate that. If you can, double it for wet pavement.
