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 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.
