Make sure there is at least a 3-second space cushion between you and the car in front of you.

If another driver cuts in front of you into your space cushion, just ease your foot off the gas pedal and slow down until you once again have a safe distance between you and the other car.

For less than perfect weather conditions, keep a 4 – 5 second space cushion between you and the car in front of you.

Stare straight ahead at all times.
