That's the underlying reason to keep distance ofc. The rule of thumb gives you an easy to calculate solution to how far that approximately is.
I don't need math for this. Once you have a feel for your car you can just visually gauge it in an instant.
Judging by how close people follow me on the Interstate, I have a feeling most drivers think this but only a small percentage can do it effectively.
And judging by how close 9 out of 10 pickup truck drivers ~~follow~~ tailgate me on the interstate even when I am doing 10-15 over, I have a feeling most don't care and would prefer to run me over in their lifted Rams and SuperDutys.
