It is night time and you are driving home from the movies. You are travelling in a line of vehicles. What size gap should you leave between your vehicle and the vehicles in front of you?
A gap of about 2 seconds so you can watch the vehicles in front closely and see
when they are stopping
The same 3-second gap you would leave during the day
A gap of about 4 seconds as it is easy to misjudge distances at night
Explanation: You must be able to stop in the full length of the road you can see in front of you. However, if the road has no lanes, you should be able to stop in half the length of the road you can see ahead.
