How near are you from the vehicle before you?

[j_avonni]

In a full stop traffic situation, how near are you from the vehicle before you?

1. I can't see the bumper
2. I can still see the bumper
3. I can see the rear wheels
4. Another car can fit between us

As much as possible, number 3 to give space for maneuvering.

Ako distansiya ko medyo malayo talaga (almost 1 car length). Pero disadvantage naman nyan, madalas akong masingitan ng mga "mababait" na drivers............

as far as i could..but as close as i can be...

[woohoo]

One should maintain a safe distance such that kung merong sasadsad sa likod mo, kaya mong itigil (mag-preno) ang sasakyan mo para huwag tumama sa nasa harap mo.

kung garapal traffic... dikit talaga ako ... isang tao na lang kasya sa pagitan.

kung highway driving naman... usually mga 3-4 cars ang pagitan.

1. I can see the rear wheels

This is what instructors teach at driving schools for exactly the same reason.

As for the danger of rear-ends at full stops, the advice is to pull your handbrake and put your car in first gear until another car makes a full stop behind yours.

it depends on the traffic situation.
normally, i cannot see the bumper anymore. pero pag nasa likod ako ng truck or malaking sasakyan, i usually leave some space wherein kita ko bumper nila.

When I am travelling I usually follow the three second rule. Pero kung bumper to bumper traffic as near as my car will allow me.

I always still see the bumper everytime. Pero kung tinopak ako at may sumusubok sumingit sakin very close talaga, siguro walang tao na makakasiksik sa gitna ng kotse ko at nang nasa harap ko...
