Question:
You are following another vehicle. In Rhode Island, what is the recommended minimum following distance behind the vehicle in front of you?
A
At least three seconds
explanation
The Rhode Island Driver's Manual recommends the "three-second rule": Maintain a following distance of at least three seconds behind the vehicle ahead of you. You can measure your following distance by noting when the vehicle in front of you passes some stationary object and then counting the seconds that elapse until you reach the same object. Under hazardous driving conditions, increase your following distance to four or even five seconds. [A. The Three (3) Second Rule â Following Distance; VII. Systems for Safe, Courteous, and Defensive Driving; Rhode Island Driver's Manual]
