CDL Permit — Sample

What is the basic rule for calculating minimum safe following distance for a commercial vehicle in ideal dry conditions?

A One second for every 10 feet of vehicle length.

B Two seconds for every 10 feet of vehicle length.

C Three seconds total, regardless of vehicle length.

D One second for every 20 feet of vehicle length.

Explanation. The correct answer is one second for every 10 feet of vehicle length. This is the fundamental rule for establishing a minimum safe following distance for commercial vehicles in ideal conditions. For example, a 40-foot truck would need a minimum of 4 seconds of following distance. Additionally, you should add one extra second for speeds over 40 mph. For instance, a 40-foot truck traveling at 55 mph
