A safe following distance between cars when driving is typically recommended to be at least 3-4 car lengths.

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.
The driving distance is about 1,620 kilometers. One should be wary of safe driving practice, the change from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, and tolls.
Safe driving is not dangerous driving
The stopping distance when driving at 50 mph can vary based on factors such as road conditions and vehicle weight. As a rough estimate, the average stopping distance at 50 mph is around 175-225 feet. It is important to maintain a safe following distance and be prepared to brake gradually to avoid collisions.
