When driving in the rain besides reducing your speed and increasing your following distance you should?
pass others on the left
Why should you measure your pulse over 10 seconds and not 60?
You should get a sufficintly accurate indication after 10 seconds and, that way, you save a whole 50 seconds!
If speed is a function of time or velocity is a function of time Then what should you do to calculate distance?
Distance equals speed multiplied by time. For example, speed is 72 km/h and time is 200 seconds or 200/3600=0,0(5) hours, so the distance traveled is 72*0,0(5)=4 kilometers.
Should you measure in feet seconds or car length when following?
Which ever you find easier. Find a fixed point ahead i.e. a telegraph pole. As the car in front passes it, in good driving conditions, say to yourself at normal speed, "Only a fool breaks the two second rule!" If you passed the pole before you finished it, you are too close to the vehicle in front. If you finished it way before you reached the pole, you are too far away from the vehicle in front. The two second rule mantra automatically adjusts the distance between vehicles dependent on speed. However, you must increase the distance by at least 50% for wet/slippy conditions. Repeating the first half of the phrase will do that.
If going 35 mph how far should you be from a car in front of you?
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.
How many seconds of following distance should you use if it's raining and your tired?
5
If it is raining and you are driving in rush hour traffic how many seconds of following distance should you use?
It is five seconds
It is raining and you are tired while driving how many seconds of following distance should you use?
I usually leave 5 to 6 seconds minimum following distance under those condition, and have had no accidents . . .
If it is raining and you are tired how many seconds of following distance?
If it is raining and you are tired, you probably should not be driving - you are a hazard to yourself and other drivers when you drive in those conditions. However, if you must drive, keep a solid 10 to 15 seconds of following distance between you and the next car on the road.

When driving you should always measure your following distance in?
When driving, you should always measure your following distance in seconds. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a following distance of at least 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This distance allows you enough time to react and brake safely in case of an emergency.
You should always measure your following distance in a car?
Seconds
How many seconds of following distance should be used if tired?

If you are driving a 30 ft vehicle at 55 mph how many seconds of the following distance should be allow?

When driving on the expressway you should adjust your speed to allow at least how many seconds following distance to stop or evasively steer in an emergency?
4 to 5 seconds
How do you measure following distance?
Following distance is typically measured in seconds. A common rule of thumb is the "3-second rule" where you should leave at least 3 seconds of following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. To measure this, pick a stationary object on the side of the road, wait for the vehicle ahead of you to pass it, and then count how many seconds it takes for you to pass the same object.
