WEEK-ONE: following distance

“3 or 4 car lengths in city driving“

“other drivers have about 2 or 1 car lengths“
Try this…
Gently over the next week change your 3 or 4 car lengths to 5 or 6.
Whatever your current car length distance is, over the next week, gently increase it by 20%
WEEK 1: following distance
WEEK 2: left center right left LCRL
WEEK 3: toot toot
WEEK 4: brake lights early
At week’s end again measure your car lengths following distance. Were you able to grow it some?
