Answer

8 seconds

Explanation

When driving in normal conditions, a common rule of thumb is to maintain a following distance of at least 3 seconds from the vehicle in front of you. However, in adverse conditions such as snow, it's recommended to increase this distance to account for the reduced traction and longer stopping distances. In snowy conditions, a following distance of 8 seconds is generally considered safer than 3 or 5 seconds. This allows drivers more time to react and stop their vehicle safely if the car in front suddenly brakes or if there are obstacles on the road. Therefore, the safest following distance in snow is 8 seconds.
