In dry weather how might a driver judge what is a safe following distance to vehicle in front?

  1. Correct answerBy using a fixed point and applying the two second rule.
  2. By allowing at least two vehicle lengths between the vehicles.
  3. Drive at the same speed as the vehicle in front.
  4. Allow a least two vehicle lengths for each kilometre per hour.

Explanation

A driver can judge a safe distance from the vehicle in front by using the two second rule. This is measured by picking a fixed point. As the vehicle in front passes it, begin saying "only a fool breaks the two second rule". If you pass the fixed point before you have finished the phrase, then your vehicle is too close, safely slow and increase your distance from the vehicle in front.

在干燥天气条件下,司机如何判断与前车的安全跟车距离?

  1. 通过使用一个固定点并应用两秒规则。
  2. 在车辆之间至少保持两个车长的距离。
  3. 与前车保持相同速度行驶。
  4. 每小时每公里至少留出两个车长的距离。

驾驶员可以通过使用两秒规则来判断与前车的安全距离。这可以通过选择一个固定点来测量。当前车经过该点时,开始说“只有傻瓜才打破两秒规则”。如果在你说完这句话之前经过固定点,那么你的车距离太近,应安全减速并增加与前车的距离。
