*your question doesn't really make sense... but if you mean what does the following distance when driving means... it is 2 seconds (at least) behind the car you are following. when the car in front of you passes a post etc count and see if it takes you at least 2 seconds to pass the same object at the same point of your car... hope that helps :)
When traveling at 55 miles per hour, a good rule of thumb for following distance is to maintain at least one second of distance for every 10 feet of your vehicle's length. Since your vehicle is 30 feet long, you should leave approximately 3 seconds of following distance. This allows for adequate reaction time and helps ensure safety on the road.
You should create a following distance greater than 3 seconds in situations such as driving in poor weather conditions (like rain, snow, or fog), when following large vehicles that may obstruct your view, or when driving in heavy traffic where sudden stops are more likely. Additionally, if you notice that the driver ahead of you is distracted or erratic, increasing your following distance can provide extra safety. This extra space allows for greater reaction time in case of emergencies.
Multiply by a value in seconds, that way you find out the distance. The distance will be in metres which will be travelled in a certain amount of seconds
When following large trucks, maintain at least a minimum of a ______ second following distance.
5 seconds
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.
I usually leave 5 to 6 seconds minimum following distance under those condition, and have had no accidents . . .
3 seconds

Three seconds
3 Seconds
It is five seconds
2
2 seconds
Actually, 2 seconds is NOT a safe following distance. Minimum safe following distance is 5 seconds. Yes, it works at any legal speed in dry weather.
