When I did driver's training, they recommended about 2 seconds of distance. I find it to be a reasonable distance most of the time.

    2 seconds is not enough. Average human reaction time takes more than half that time. I was also taught to keep 3 seconds minimum distance on average 80 km/h zone. Faster driving, more distance should be kept.
