You are driving the blue car in the picture, and the red car is ahead of you in your lane. Under normal conditions, what is the smallest gap you should keep behind it?

Answer options

Why

Arkansas teaches the two-second rule: when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point, you should not reach that point before counting two seconds. On slippery roads or in other poor conditions, leave more space, such as four seconds.
