Does the proper following distance vary with speed?
Yes, using either the 2-second rule or the 3-second rule means that as your driving speed increases, you leave more distance between you and the car ahead of you.
One car length away at this speed?
This refers to following distances, and the rule of thumb is one car length for every 10 MPH of speed. 50 MPH = 5 car lengths, but these days you're more likely to find five cars in there...
What is the recommended safe following distance as expressed in car lengths?
a metre or a car lengthAdded; (in the US) one car length for every 10 miles-per-hour of speed.
What does the two second rule refer to?
The two second rule is a way to estimate a safe following distance between your car and a car that you are following. Pick a spot on the road, perhaps a sign. When the rear bumper of the other car passes that spot, start counting one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc. i.e. count the seconds between his bumper and yours. If that time is less than two seconds, then you are following too close. It does not matter what your speed is, because counting time will cancel out the speed. The official rule is one car length per 10 miles per hour. Assuming a car length is 20 feet, this translates to 1.4 seconds. Two seconds simply gives you an appropriate margin of error.
What is an example of rule governed behavior?
