The best drivers anticipate potential hazards. What’s a time or distance interval that is NOT recommended to react to an approaching hazard?
Correct Incorrect A distance of 4 car lengths (about 60 feet) is not enough space to react to a potential hazard. Ideally, leave 12-15 seconds of space, which is equivalent to a city block or about a quarter mile. This gives you ample time to react.
