In good weather and road conditions, what is the minimum following interval Florida guidance recommends behind the vehicle ahead?

• A.Close enough that no one can cut in
• B.About one car length at any speed
• C.At least 2 seconds behind the vehicle ahead
• D.At least 10 seconds at all times

Why

Florida guidance uses a minimum 2-second following interval in good conditions. Pick a fixed object, and if you reach it less than 2 seconds after the vehicle ahead, you are following too closely.
