On dry roads with good visibility, a safe following distance is

  1. 3-4 Seconds

  2. One car length

  3. Unable to read the rear license plate of the vehicle ahead

  4. 2-3 Seconds

The correct answer is: 3-4 Seconds

A safe following distance on dry roads with good visibility is 3-4 seconds. This allows for enough time to react in case the car in front suddenly brakes or a hazard appears on the road. Option B, one car length, is not a reliable measure as it may not account for differences in vehicle sizes. Option C, reading the rear license plate, is not a reliable measure as it depends on the size and font of the license plate. Option D, 2-3 seconds, is close to the correct answer but may not provide enough cushion in case of unexpected situations.
