Chances are you probably consider yourself to be a pretty safe driver.  After all, it’s something you do practically every day, right?  Between commuting to and from work, picking up the kids from school, and running errands, you’d have to be a skilled motorist.  We certainly hope so! But it never hurts to brush up on your know-how.

6 seconds for more than 55 MPH or in rain, and 
 
9 seconds for heavy snowstorms or low visibility.
