Volvo Safety: Think in Threes

Driving Safely: Think in threes
 
Chances are you probably consider yourself to be a pretty safe driver.  After all, it’s something you do practically every day, right?  Between commuting to and from work, picking up the kids from school, and running errands, you’d have to be a skilled motorist.  We certainly hope so! But it never hurts to brush up on your know-how.  
 
Tip: Keep your distance by thinking in increments of three.  You should be...
 
3 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you for speeds of 35 – 55 MPH in fair weather, 
 
6 seconds for more than 55 MPH or in rain, and 
 
9 seconds for heavy snowstorms or low visibility.
