10-15 feet . You need to be 2 full seconds behind. Pick stationary object vehicle in front passes, then count how long until you pass the same object. Not 2 seconds? Increase you following distance!

Another rule of thumb is to stay behind one car length for every 10 miles per hour, so at 35 mph you would want to be 3 and 1/2 cars behind the car in front of you.

Do you On a city street you should be looking ahead as far ahead as the car in front of you.?

False


On the city street you should be looking ahead of you as far ahead as the car in front of you?

On city streets, you should maintain a safe following distance (two seconds) from the car ahead of you. Keep a constant scan going for signs, traffic lights, pedestrians, bicycles, and anything else that might create an emergency situation. Look past the car ahead of you for obstacles and brake lights from the car in front of the one you're following.


On a city street you should be looking ahead of you as far as the car in front of you?

No. You should be looking scanning everywhere for road signs, traffic ahead, and what people ahead of you are doing. and you should also watch around your car for things like cats or other animals that might try to run in front of you. at first when you start to drive you will probably look at the car ahead of you but the more you drive the more you will start to pay attention to everything going on


How far ahead should you look while driving to see danger or hazards?

You should scan ahead as far as possible. Do not fixate on the vehicle in front of you. Look down the road and expect the worse. If there is a car at an intersection expect it to pull out in front of you. If there is an oncoming car expect it to come into your lane and be prepared to take evasive action.

How far behind a car should you be?

I think it is one second for every ten miles per hour you are travelling. For example if you are travelling at 50 miles per hour, you should be 5 seconds behind the car in front of you. You can judge this by counting the time between the time the car in front of you passes a stationary object, such as a phone pole, and the time you pass the same object.

Why should you use your turn signals well in advantage of a turn?

You should use your turn signal in far enough advance so the car behind you knows you are going to turn and has enough time to slow down. However, putting the turn signal on too far in advance can be confusing because the following car will not know exactly when you are going to turn.
