i kept at least two car away from the car in front on me, 80, approximately 3-cars away and more than a 100 kph, I stayed not nearer than 5 cars away or more.

Do you think it will be in layman's term to explain the 2-second rule. Even in the link given by TCOM, the explanation given was way too hard to be understood unless they have given a sample computation, say with a given speed!

Yes, I am already getting old but safety in driving is a priority to me. I won't risk myself and my love ones life BUT of course, you can not control the other party/ies.

One maybe very safe in driving but the cars are not, it will be the same risk!
