was what I was taught in Driver's Education class. But trying to follow that in normal driving is nearly impossible on the crowded suburban roads I travel (if I leave that much of a gap, someone fills it immediately).
So I just try to stay at least one to two car lengths behind the car in front of me. This has saved me from an accident many times... I haven't had one in twenty years even though I live/drive in NJ, the most densely populated state in the US.
