Question: 1 / 400

What is the 'two-second rule' in driving?

It is the minimum time to spend on a traffic signal

A guideline for safe following distance

The 'two-second rule' is a guideline for maintaining a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. By ensuring that you are at least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead, you allow yourself enough time to react in case of sudden stops or emergencies.

To correctly apply the two-second rule, you can pick a fixed point (like a sign or tree) on the road. When the vehicle in front of you passes that point, you should start counting seconds. If you reach that point before you count to two, you are following too closely and should increase the distance between your vehicle and the one ahead.

This rule helps improve safety on the road by giving drivers adequate time to respond to various driving conditions and potential hazards, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.
