If your vehicle is 11.5 m long, what time interval count should you use under ideal road and traffic conditions?

2 seconds
4 seconds
3 seconds
5 seconds

The correct answer is: 4 seconds

When driving, it is recommended to use the "two-second rule" for following distance. This means that under normal conditions, you should maintain a distance from the vehicle in front of you that takes two seconds for you to reach the same point as them. However, since your vehicle is 11.5 meters long, you should add this length to the distance when following another vehicle. So, if you are driving under ideal road and traffic conditions, you should use a time interval of 4 seconds to ensure a safe following distance. Option A (2 seconds) would not provide enough distance for your longer vehicle, and options C (3 seconds) and D (5 seconds) would be either too close or too far for an appropriate following distance.
