What is the recommended safe following distance while driving?
The Minnesota Driver’s Manual recommends a minimum 3-second following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. This rule applies to passenger cars and light trucks traveling in ideal conditions. When conditions are less than ideal, you must increase the amount of distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you.
