[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1209041, member: 32753"] Have you ever actually tried to do this in a vehicle? The distances sound like alot, but out in the real world it isn't that hard to do, and you cover great distances pretty fast. Also, when some enters your lane in front of you it isn't much to take your foot off the accelerator and coast to allow time for your FD to increase; really not necessary to brake at all, most of the time, unless that person is one of those jerks who gets in front of a car that is going faster than them and then SLOWS DOWN, but then, just change lanes if possible. However, with a 6-8 sec cushion while moving your eyes every two secs to get the big picture, you'll see these things well in advanced. It's even better in a package car or other larger vehicle because you can see over traffic. And yes, you can pick anything to set your following distance by. I routinely use shadows and stripes in the road as my benchmark to set my following distance. [/QUOTE]
