Why . If your going at a reasonable speed its not dangerous . Fmcsa recommends 4 sec unless adverse road conditions or higher speeds then that rule is adjusted. How long have you been a cdl holder you dont know that

So you have two seconds between you and the truck ahead of you, and THEY have already been braking for 2 seconds...
In that scenario, if the truck in front is braking hard, there's a #### good chance somebody is going to die.
If you look at wherever you saw that information, it is likely for 4-wheelers with hydraulic brakes, OR it says a truck can come to a full stop in 4 seconds, but is not considering reaction time, foot movement, and air system operation.
EDIT ADD: FMCSA indicates that in ideal conditions, a commercial vehicle driver should leave a gap of 1 second per 10 feet of their vehicle length. For most of us, that's 6 or 7 seconds.Last edited: Jan 17, 2020
