You are driving on a slippery road during the day. What does the Driver's manual say about how much space you should keep ahead of your truck?

Question

Accepted Answer

A: Allow much more space than is needed for ideal driving conditions.. Be aware of driving conditions and how they affect your ability to stop. Even under ideal driving conditions air brake lag will result in an additional 32 feet of stopping distance when traveling 55 mph for a total of more than 450 feet. Allow for additional stopping distance when conditions are less than ideal.
