How much space should you leave between you and the car in front of you?

The space between you and the other vehicle depends on many factors, including the speed at which you are driving and the conditions on the road. In the past, car lengths were used to discuss distance, but now it is recommended to leave at least three seconds and more in poor driving conditions. To calculate, determine the time difference between when the car in front of you passes something and you pass it.
