Two Second Rule | How To Judge Following Distance
ฝัง

- Two Second Rule? - EASILY Judge Your Following Distances When Driving// The 2-second rule. As the car in front passes a fixed point, such as a sign or a bridge, start to say ‘only a fool breaks the 2-second rule’ at a normal rate. It takes about 2 seconds to say, so if you pass the same fixed point before you’ve finished saying it, you’re too close and should leave more room. In wet conditions, this gap should be at least doubled. In icy conditions, it needs to be increased even further.

My instructor was saying something about this when I had my motorway training after I passed my driving test almost 7 weeks ago.
I’ve got my test on Thursday, so nervous 😬
Update: Passed with 3 minors! 😊
And your videos certainly helped with that so thanks a lot, Matt!
Passed my driving tested last Monday woohooo 🚘😎
Love your videos Matt, passed my driving test first time yesterday!!
I'm finding your videos really helpful, thank you!
Fantastic video!
Great video, very helpful
Passed my test last week. Got 3 minors, so pleased but know that I could have avoided them of I hadn't been so nervous!
You are a great instructor. If I had had one like you during my lessons I would have passed much easier. Many people here in Eastern EU ignoring the following distance and tailgating you apart from the slow moving traffic. For example in town the max speed limit is 50km/h 30 mph but i was forced to go 60km/h because that person was 2meters from me behind, which makes me so frustrated. I try to keep the distance from everyone, but you can not avoid idiots in the street. Just 1 request please make pedal cam or footcam footages about pedal usages, clutch controls. That would be really helpful for us.
I believe the highway code says to gently slow down when this happens
Driving test on Thursday I’ll be binging these videos even more
I am finding it very good because you have help me with all of what i need it
I get a power pole and a car that pass me i can count 1 second 2 second or look in the road code it will tell you how much distance that you can follow as well.
Thank you..
Drive a third slower than the speed limit in wet weather and two thirds slower than the speed limit in snow and ice. That will work a treat.
Here in Finland 2 seconds would be way too close in the driving exam. As a driving instructor myself, i use a 5 second minimum rule. In some cases that 5 seconds isnt enough. Once i knew there were several large styrofoams pieces fallen of a truck on a highway in advance, and went to that same place all day with all learning drivers, using that 5 second gap. They just froze and didnt react before hitting the styrofoams. The styrofoam was painted with army camouflage and looked like something you really dont want to hit. The learning drivers decided 5 seconds isnt enough. With 2 seconds they wouldnt have known what happened.
Matt, when can you release the last episode of Ari's Pass Plus Lessons? Many Thanks
Hi mate, i have my test in 6 weeks and my instructor says my general driving is at test standard my only.down fall is my roundabouts which is what we are going to working on over the next 15-18 hours of lessons i have planned. Do you have a video in regards to roundabouts, thanks.
Damn that's too long to be just working on roundabouts. I don't know but it seems like the instructor is stretching the lessons quite a lot, but I don't expect anyone to be *that* bad that they need 15+ lessons on roundabouts. But everyone is different I guess.
But anyways here's a few videos which I hope you will find useful:
1. th-cam.com/video/JAHmVNhoOow/w-d-xo.html
2. th-cam.com/video/eGZfiOydW8A/w-d-xo.html
Driving TV is super helpful in his explanations and has a very good teaching method.
Hope it helps.
@@seekerofknowledge6595 sorry i should have explained it better, my test date is the 20th of May. In that time i have 3 hours of lessons every week to maintain the high standard of driving required to pass. This is my personal preference as i like to always keep my confidence high which will potentially help come test day. As for the roundabouts they will be covered also in this time period along with everything else.
Thank you kindly for the links to videos, will be a great help bud.
The 2 second rule is a golden rule I always leave 3 seconds to compensate for any idiot who might decide to tailgate me.
In Sweden, we have 3 Second rule.
I failed my test for the second time today for 4 faults on following distance
Any recommendations for a first car?
I just got a car on Saturday (first car)
Got a Peugeot 208
I’ve got a Corsa, which I can certainly recommend 😊 But there are many alternatives out there as well so make sure you shop around and don’t just get the first one you like 👍🏻
Depends on your budget.
So I’ve had 18 driving lessons and am still on quiet road doing left and right turns but have tried roundabouts once and didn’t go good so he said we should go back to quiet roads. Is this good
annonomouse doesn’t sound very gd , could waste your money
annonomouse I think your instructor is using you for your money within my 2nd lesson me and most other people are able to drive home on normal roads including a dual carriageway I suggest bringing this up with your instructor and get a new instructor or go with a driving company such as Red Driving School as my self
annonomouse He should be pushing you to drive on more busier roads to get more confidence not just quiet roads
I think you should change instructors. Normally we all start preparing for test by acknowledging test routes around this stage. Just because the roundabouts didnt go well once doesnt mean you should go a step back to quiet roads again. I think your instructor is just making money out of your weakness. Instead he should've ensured your progressing in each and every lesson. We all approach roundabouts, but what's the theory behind the quiet roads? Find a reputated driving instructor who can actually teach you the basics as well as motivate and inspire you to become independant until and after you pass your test. I'm telling you this because my first driving instructor kept me confused for 10 months almost 3 years ago and I only knew the basics and not even near to test standards as I was forced to take the same route every lesson! I've recently passed with my 3rd driving instructor with 7 months of lessons.
Get a new instructor. If only for a second opinion.
It's all logic
Read it as: ONLY A FOOL FOLLOWS A 2 SECOND RULE.
I have my second test on Thursday. I'm more nervous than my first time for some reason :(
Try to stay calm you will be fine.Good luck.
@@fionaalison8389 Cheers, I'll update how I do afterwards 👍🏻
I was the same! The nervousness increases every time I took the test. You’ll be fine
@@Bespokeminds it's the fact the first test was a stupid mistake that made me fail, I'm worried it make a proper mistake this time
Don't worry you'll be fine. I was nervous on my first test which resulted in me failing, but 3 weeks later I passed on my second attempt and it has made me into a better driver. Just keep calm and keep recapping what you've learnt and acknowledge your weaknesses from your previous test and turn them into strengths. It's all experience.
baldy
First
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard please for the love of God give me a tangible unit of measurement to stay at a distance
If you can’t work that out, I doubt you’ll be able to do the math because the gap changes as the speed increases
