What is the normal rate that a car should be traveling behind another car?
One car length for every 10 mph.
If you are driving at 40 mph what should be the distance between cars?
A good rule of thumb is to keep a distance of one car length, about 10 feet, for every 10 mph of speed, so at 40 mph, you should be 40 feet behind the car in front of you. Obviously, this is harder to do in heavy traffic.
How many car lengths are safe on highway?
One car length for every 10 mph.
One car length away at this speed?
This refers to following distances, and the rule of thumb is one car length for every 10 MPH of speed. 50 MPH = 5 car lengths, but these days you're more likely to find five cars in there...
What is the recommended rule for following a car at the speed of 65 mph?
The rule of thumb is to maintain on car length for each ten miles of speed. Sixty five MPH would require a separation of 6.5 times one car length, of six and one half car lengths.
How many seconds should a Drivers should always keep following distance from the vehicle and the car ahead?
One car length for every 10 miles per hour of speed. If you are then traveling at 50 mph, one should allow at least 5 car lengths between you and the car in front of you.
What is the fastest hotwheels car?
160 mph falling out of a plane, 50 mph from a slingshot. Depending on the length and slope of your track from less than 1 mph to 160+
How many tenths of a second equates to how many car lengths?
That depends on vehicle speed. At 60 mph a vehicle covers 88 feet in one second. It also depends on the length of the car, but assuming the average car is 15 feet in length, it takes less than 2 tenths of a second to travel one "car length" at 60 mph. So in one second, the average car covers almost 6 car lengths! Double the speed - 120 mph - and that same car covers 176 feet in one second; more than half the length of a football field.
Once the brakes have been applied about how many feet does a car that was going 70 mph travel before it comes to a stop?
average car takes 1 average car length per 10 mph.
How fast should you drive your car in reverse?
10 mph
How far should a car be behind another car traveling at 55 mph?
three car spaces
Is the recommended safe driving distance in good conditions?
One car length per 10 mph
