In heavy rain a driver doubles the dry two-second gap. What gap in metres should be left to the car ahead at 90 km/h?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 100 m

  1. Step 1: The doubled gap is 4 seconds, and at 90 km/h the car covers 25 m per second. Step 2. 4 x 25 = 100 m. Answer: 100 m. Why not the others: 50 m: 50 m is the normal dry two-second gap. 25 m: 25 m is only one second of travel. 60 m: 60 m divides by 6 instead of converting with 3.6.
