Today’s Three Seconds: Keep a Safe Distance 🚗 . . . 🚗

Safe driving isn’t just about speed—maintaining a safe space between vehicles allows for better reaction times and reduces the risk of collisions. In perfect conditions, aim for a following distance of 3 seconds, but be sure to increase that gap during poor weather or when driving a heavier vehicle.
