To know how much space a vehicle operator has, he/she should wait until the vehicle ahead passes a shadow on the road, a pavement marking, or some other clear
landmark. Then count the seconds, one thousand one, one thousand two, and so on, until he/she reaches the same spot. The vehicle operator can compare their count with the rule of one second for every ten feet of length. If driving a 40-foot truck and only count two seconds, the vehicle operator is too close. He/She should drop back a little and recount until the right number of seconds of following distance is reached. When the road is slippery, more space is required to
stop.
