The National Safety Council recommends a minimum three-second following distance with an additional second for adverse or hazardous driving conditions, like heavy traffic and poor weather and visibility. If your speed is higher than 60 miles per hour, you will need to add extra following distance between the vehicle ahead and your vehicle. The higher the speed, the more distance it takes to stop your vehicle.

The Minnesota Driver's Manual recommends a minimum 3-second following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. This rule applies to passenger cars and light trucks traveling in ideal conditions. When conditions are less than ideal, you must increase the amount of distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. See similar questions...

To calculate distances between two waypoints requires the use of the ",great circle formula", because the earth is round (approx) and we have to take that into consideration when working with relatively large distances. Distance=ACOS(SIN(lat1/180*PI)*SIN(lat2/180*PI)+ COS(lat1/180*PI)*COS(lat2/180*PI)*COS(lon1/180*PI-lon2/180*PI))*180*60/PI) See similar questions...

If you put them into your GPS as waypoints/landmarks and add them to a route, your GPS will calculate the distance for you. Button pushing details are different for each GPS model, so that is left as an exercise for the reader. If you have the points in UTM, and they are close enough together to ignore the curvature of the earth, you can work with them like XY Cartesian coordinates. See similar questions...

It is very complicated to calculate the exact distance between two geographical coordinates since different projections as well as the oblateness of the earth has to be considered. But in most cases a simple formula will help as long the distance is not too small and the points are not too close to the poles. You will need WGS84 geo-coordinates in decimal degree (not in degree-minutes-seconds like N 49? 29.296 E 008? 27.722). All geo-coordinates provided by Platon are in decimal degree.

A few acts of vandalism and theft have been reported at some of the hut trailheads. The Crane Park and Turquoise Lake Trailheads near Leadville have been the hardest hit.

Remain calm and wait for paramedics to arrive on the scene. If you are not severely injured, collect all pertinent information from the other drivers - driver's license numbers, address, telephone numbers, insurance card information, etc. Keep a daily journal beginning with the date of the accident to document all physical and mental injuries, as well as document your view of the accident.

come from car's real fuel consumption i.e. not according to figures provided by UTAC (Union Technique de l'Automobile du Motocycle et du Cycle), which do not take into account cold starting, air-conditioning, acceleration, traffic jams etc. The calculation for motorcycle emissions comes from a study carried out by the Ademe.
