Did you know that you can reduce your driving stress? If you simply put a little distance between you and the car in front of you, the intense driving experience tones down and becomes very manageable – even enjoyable…
When I was taking drivers education, we were told to allow 1 car length for every 10 miles per hour. The current trend is to maintain a minimum of 2 seconds between you and the vehicle you are following. If road conditions change and the weather gets bad, you are suppose to increase that distance.
It is estimated that most people would be hard pressed to come to a full stop from 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds, and it would be more like 6 seconds. If we all gave everyone else a little more room, perhaps everyone would be less stressed.
