When you follow another vehicle as shown, what is the minimum gap Kansas recommends in good driving conditions?
Correct answer: 2 seconds, or 4 seconds or more in poor conditions.
Answer options
AHalf a second, or 1 second in poor conditions
B1 second, or 2 seconds in poor conditions
C2 seconds, or 4 seconds or more in poor conditions Correct
Why
Kansas teaches the two-second rule: when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed object such as a sign or pole, you should take at least 2 seconds to reach that same object. On wet, icy or dark roads, or in heavy traffic, stretch the gap to 4 seconds or more.
