*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 :)
