Do you know what the two second rule is about?
Do you use the two second rule?
Correct Answer: YES
16/17.When driving you should allow at least a two second gap, this can by obtained by using a fixed point two judge the distance. For example when the car in front passes a specific point along the road start counting you should reach the same point no sooner than two seconds later, if you reach the same point before two seconds then you need to re adjust your speed.
When you are driving on wet roads the gap should double and be increased even further on icy roads.
