Give yourself a four second or me more cushion of space in front of your vehicle when following large vehicles that block your view of the road ahead.
Explanation:
In order to ensure safety from the vehicles coming from the other side of the road when the road in front of you is blocked by an object bigger than your vehicle, it is advised that a space of at least four seconds is left between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you (both moving at an almost constant speed).
This cushion of space between your vehicle and the other vehicle provides for space for safe skidding in case of emergency braking if required.
