You should be 2-3 seconds behind a given point that the vehicle in front just passed.

At 65 mph, that is 95 feet per second, so multiply by 2 or 3 and you should be 190-280 feet behind

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.


If you are traveling at 55 miles per hour in a 30 foot vehicle you should leave how many seconds of following distance?

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.


How does the distance of the object compare with the distance of the image from the plane mirror?

The distance of the object from the mirror line should equal the distance of the image from the mirror line.


If you should add 1 second of following distance for environmental factors how many seconds should you add for nightime rain and fog?

For nighttime driving in rain, it's advisable to add at least 2 seconds to your following distance due to reduced visibility and slick road conditions. In fog, you should add another 2 seconds, as fog significantly impairs visibility and reaction times. Therefore, for nighttime rain and fog combined, you should add a total of 4 seconds to your following distance.


When traveling under 40 mph you should follow other vehicle?
