Um......the back tires darling. Typically you are supposed to keep some space between you and the car in front of you....

You should be able to see where the rear tires of the one in front touch the road. That is normally enough clearance to keep from being pushed into that vehicle if somebody hits you from behind. Ignore Paul. You do not use lotto chances to decide safety factors, and experience does not make anybody more capable of safely ignoring them. After 42 years and over a million and half miles of driving, I still leave the same distance I was taught.

You should be able to see at least a foot(if not more) of pavement between your hood and rear bumper of front car. Always remember that if you were to get hit from behind and you hit the car in front of you, you are responsible for damage to his car, even though you were hit. There is no need to be up someones tailpipe at a stop light.

might help to know what form of motor vehicle - front or rear wheel force, and which tire. i might say a wheel bearing has failed, and failed great time. they often provide you some caution that something is incorrect by first making noise nonetheless. Any way, the warmth has deminished the effectiveness of the brake. it rather is inhierent of any motor vehicle braking device. additionally, this severe volume of warmth has very possibly comprimised the integrity of the metallic spindle, as nicely as different factors of that wheel. there's an incredible threat now of the metallic fatigue ensuing in finished failure, and the wheel definitely coming off on a similar time as driving. might desire to get it fixed till now driving to any extent further.

Back tires, this give you enough clearance to change lanes if you have to. For example, when you are looking into the rear mirror and you think that the car behind is going to rear end you. (not slowing down). Give enough space in the front and back.

Well, when I took driver's ed last year, I was always told to stop so I could see the back tires. That way, if the person in front of you stalls, you can dry steer around them easily.

While taking the driving test, a car length would greatly help your chances of passing.
After you get your license, stop anywhere you like. The odds of getting hit in the rear are greater than winning the LOTTO. It's only happened to me once in 45 years of driving in some of the WORST traffic in the nation.

You should stop far enough behind so that if someone rearends you, you have enough space to get knocked forward, gather yourself, and stop your car from rearending the car in front of you. Dig? B/C you're liable for the car in front of you, it's called insurance propaganda.

well the answer is the liscence plate but you wont be able to stop there every single time its no bigee just dont go too close because cars on uneven roads or hils start to roll back if the driver of the car is not pressing the brae you want to have time to reverse or honk. but on the highway it doesent really matter

I guess you want to see the tires to have adequate distance from the other car.
