Depends on the country and who is giving the driving test. You'll need to check the driving manual for your country because it can vary greatly. The weather conditions, YOUR condition, the vehicles condition, the road conditions, and traffic conditionals all factor into the equation. Example: German traffic authorities recommend one-half the speedometer reading in meters as a safe distance for following vehicles (for example, at 60 kph, the recommended distance between vehicles is 30 meters). Greater distances should be used according to current road conditions. Another method for estimating a safe following distance from the vehicle in front is the “3-second method.” Note a spot on the road (for example, a road post). When the vehicle in front passes that spot, begin counting (one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three). If you pass the spot before you finish counting to three, you are following too closely. In bad weather, 4 or 5 seconds are recommended. Road conditions and driving speed always must be considered in choosing a safe following distance.
