    I just leave enough room to come to a stop in the gap between us.

      That’s the underlying reason to keep distance ofc. The rule of thumb gives you an easy to calculate solution to how far that approximately is.

        I don’t need math for this. Once you have a feel for your car you can just visually gauge it in an instant.

          Judging by how close people follow me on the Interstate, I have a feeling most drivers think this but only a small percentage can do it effectively.

          And judging by how close 9 out of 10 pickup truck drivers follow tailgate me on the interstate even when I am doing 10-15 over, I have a feeling most don’t care and would prefer to run me over in their lifted Rams and SuperDutys.
