As far as following distances go I was taught to use a 2 second interval. Of course this isn't always practical but it seems to work very well on the freeway. Anybody else out there ever hear of this? It's not a bug, it's a roller skate! Tom Hill

If you say this sentence (aloud) at a normal (or slightly slowed speed), about 2 seconds will have passed. It's great for helping to keep your distance on the highway!!!
