The 'two-second rule' is a method to ensure a safe following distance. When the vehicle in front passes a fixed point (like a lamp post or sign), it should take you two seconds to reach the same point. This is a minimum guideline for good road and weather conditions.
In poor conditions such as rain, fog, snow, or on slippery roads, you must significantly increase your following distance. Guidelines suggest a minimum of three to four seconds, and in thick fog, you should even double your distance and halve your speed due to reduced visibility and grip.
Tailgating, or following too closely, is extremely dangerous as it leaves insufficient time to react if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. It is a leading cause of traffic accidents on motorways in the Netherlands, can result in significant fines, and you are almost always considered at fault in a rear-end collision.
Yes, failure to maintain an adequate following distance is prohibited by Dutch traffic legislation and can lead to significant fines. It is considered a dangerous driving practice that increases the risk of collisions.
You can estimate your following distance by using fixed reference points on the side of the road, such as lamp posts, road signs, or trees. When the vehicle in front passes such a point, you should count two seconds (or more in poor conditions) before your own vehicle reaches that same point.
By completing Safe Following Distance, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in the Netherlands. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
