In normal conditions, what following distance does the Alaska Driver Manual recommend keeping behind the vehicle ahead?

Answer options

Why

Alaska's manual teaches the four-second rule for normal conditions and calls for six seconds or more on wet roads or when towing. State regulation 13 AAC 02.090 also sets a legal minimum of two seconds, so a gap of a second or less is too short.
