The “two-second rule” is used by a driver who wants to maintain a safe following distance at any speed. A driver must count two seconds from when the car in front of him or her passes a fixed point, such as a tree, until the driver passes the same fixed point. Drivers use this rule to determine the minimum distance to follow a car traveling at the same speed. A diagram representing this distance is shown.

As the speed of the cars increases, the minimum following distance also increases. Explain how the “two-second rule” leads to a greater minimum following distance as the speed of the cars increases. As part of your explanation, include the minimum following distances, in feet, for cars traveling at 30 miles per hour and 60 miles per hour.
