In good weather, the 3 second rule is a tool to determine if you are following another vehicle too closely. To determine the right following distance, select a fixed object on the road ahead and when the vehicle ahead of you passes that object slowly count "one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand." If you reach the same object before you are finished counting you are following too close. Of course, this rule changes with inclement weather, heavy traffic, accidents and road repair, and unsafe conditions.
