Reply to comment by Styx_Renegade in Remember people, use the 3 Second Rule. Too many people in this state still use the 2 Car Length rule for some weird reason. by Styx_Renegade
How is that different than what I said? (Assuming you were the third car in line.)

When I mean 2 car length rule, I mean roughly 32 feet.
What my dad means by looking at 2 cars ahead is to look at the car in front of the car in front of you.

Again, your dad's version is good sense, and works over a large range of following differences.
Your fixed 32 ft rule makes no sense under any driving conditions, and isn't used by anyone I've heard of before you.

You’d be surprised how many people actually think this is a safe rule to follow.
