How many feet away should you be behind a car towing?

Answer 1

The same distance you should be behind any vehicle. 3 seconds is what most experts recommend on dry pavement. In heavy traffic, at night, or when weather conditions are not ideal (eg. light rain, light fog, light snow), double the three second rule to six seconds, for added safety. If the weather conditions are very poor, eg. heavy rain, heavy fog, or heavy snow, start by tripling the three second rule to nine seconds to determine a safe following distance.
