Question #4
You are driving a 40 foot truck at 35 MPH, how much space (in seconds) should you keep in front of you?
- A3 seconds
- B4 seconds
- C5 seconds
- D6 seconds
Correct Answer:
B
The correct answer is: 4 seconds. To calculate your space required, use the following formula: If going under 40 MPH, use 1 second for each 10' of vehicle length.
