de tweesecondenregel
[tʋeːseːˈkɔndə(n)reːɣəl]
Translation
two-second rule
A way to measure distance: when the car ahead passes a post, count two seconds; if you reach it sooner you are too close. On a wet surface double it to four. The rule works at any speed, because the distance scales by itself.
