Measuring safe cushion of space in seconds factors in both the speed of vehicles and reaction times of drivers, allowing for a standardized and more universal approach to determining safe following distances. This takes into consideration varying driving conditions and speeds, helping to ensure a safe distance between vehicles regardless of the specific situation.
In any driving location, it is generally agreed to be safe if you position yourself 3 seconds or more behind the vehicle in front of you.
