#1. How do you measure the 3-second rule?
Pick a fixed point like a sign or tree, then count 3 seconds until your car reaches that point.
#2. What is the 3-second rule?
The 3-second rule ensures enough time to react and stop safely if the car ahead slows or stops suddenly.
#3. When should you increase following distance beyond 3 seconds?
Extra distance allows for longer stopping times under hazardous conditions.
#4. True or False: Maintaining the 3-second rule only protects your car.
Following distance protects you, other drivers, and pedestrians, making roads safer for everyone.
#5. What should you do if a car is tailgating you?
Increasing your distance reduces the risk of a collision and gives more space to react.
#6. True or False: The 3-second rule applies in all weather and traffic
In rain, snow, ice, or heavy traffic, you should increase the following distance to 4–6 seconds or more.
#7. True or False: Tailgating (following too closely) is dangerous.
Tailgating reduces reaction time and is a major cause of rear-end collisions.
#8. What is the main purpose of maintaining a safe following distance?
Proper following distance prevents collisions and keeps traffic flowing safely.
#9. How does the 3-second rule help at highway speeds?
At higher speeds, a 3-second following distance gives enough time to brake safely if traffic slows suddenly.
#10. True or False: Using cruise control affects following distance.
Cruise control maintains speed but doesn’t automatically adjust distance, so you must still maintain a safe following gap.
