By leaving a minimum of ____ seconds between yourself and the vehicle in front of you, you ensure you have enough stopping distance.

1 second
2 seconds
3 seconds
4 seconds

The correct answer is: 2 seconds

By leaving a minimum of 2 seconds between yourself and the vehicle in front of you, you ensure you have enough stopping distance. This following distance allows for a safer reaction time in case the vehicle in front suddenly stops or an obstacle appears on the road. Keeping a proper following distance reduces the risk of rear-end collisions and gives you more time to react and stop safely without compromising your safety or that of others on the road. It is a good practice to maintain at least a 2-second following distance under normal driving conditions and increase this distance in adverse weather or road conditions.
