What phrase is recommended for drivers to help them determine a safe distance from the vehicle in front on a dry road?

  1. Only a fool breaks the four second rule.
  2. Only a fool breaks the one second rule.
  3. Correct answerOnly a fool breaks the two second rule.
  4. Only a fool breaks the three second rule.

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.

建议驾驶员在干燥路面上判断与前车安全距离的短语是什么?

  1. 只有傻瓜才会违反四秒规则。
  2. 只有傻瓜才会违反一秒规则。
  3. 只有傻瓜才会违反两秒规则。
  4. 只有傻瓜才会打破三秒规则。

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。
