What is a space cushion?

A space cushion is the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles on the road. It is important to maintain a safe space cushion to avoid accidents. The recommended distance varies depending on the speed you are traveling and the weather conditions. It is generally recommended to maintain a space cushion of at least one car length for every ten miles per hour you are traveling. This will give you enough time to react if the vehicle in front of you suddenly brakes or swerves. You should also increase your space cushion in hazardous conditions such as rain, snow, or ice. Additionally, keeping a safe space cushion around your vehicle will give you more time to anticipate and react to potential hazards on the road.
