How many seconds should you count when driving behind a car to maintain a proper following distance?

1 second
2 seconds
3 seconds
4 seconds

The correct answer is: 1 second

When driving behind a car to maintain a proper following distance, it is recommended to count at least 2 seconds. This allows for a safe reaction time in case the car in front suddenly brakes or encounters an obstacle. By counting 2 seconds, you ensure that you have enough space and time to react safely. It helps to prevent rear-end collisions and reduces the risk of accidents. Remember, maintaining an appropriate following distance is crucial for road safety.
