A lot of drivers don’t know this rule, so thanks for asking!
The four-second rule in driving means you should remain at least four seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. This way, if you have to abruptly stop, there’s a better chance of avoiding a collision.
It’s especially important to apply the four-second rule when driving on or in:
Slippery, wet, or icy roads
Low-light or night-driving conditions
Whenever possible, the four-second rule is a good idea though—even on dry, sunny days with light traffic. It’s also never a bad idea to double-check that you have the right car insurance
and aren’t overpaying for it. The Jerry
