∙ 6y ago*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 :)
There is no general conversion between time and distance. For speed problems, use the formula distance = speed x time.
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
The average velocity has two parts to it: The average speed and the average direction. The average speed is: (the distance you travel between 0 and 3 seconds) divided by (3). The average direction is: the direction from (the place where you started at 0 seconds) to (the place where you finished at 3 seconds).
You can't convert between seconds, and meters/second. If you have a problem that involves speeds, use the formula: distance = speed x time.
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.
8 seconds
When following large trucks, maintain at least a minimum of a ______ second following distance.
5 seconds
In good weather and clear visibility, drivers should maintain a minimum following distance of at least three seconds to allow sufficient time to react to any sudden changes in traffic conditions. This distance should be increased during adverse weather or when driving at higher speeds.
I usually leave 5 to 6 seconds minimum following distance under those condition, and have had no accidents . . .
3 seconds
Three seconds

3 Seconds
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.
It is five seconds
