Remark

If you really take this question seriously, you will stop tailgating immediately. Being any less than 6 car lengths away from the car in front of you is dangerous even if you are paying attention, never mind if you are not.

Conversion


(60 miles)/(hour)*(5280 feet)/(1 mile)* (1 hour)/(3600 seconds)

Now just multiply all the numerators together

60 * 6280 * 1 = 316800

And then multiply all the denominators together

1 * 1 * 3600 = 3600

Divide the numerators / denominators to get 316800/3600 = 88 feet / second

If you go 88 feet in 1 second you will go 88 * 4 feet in 4 seconds which is 352 which is about the length of a football field. It is an awfully long way to be inattentive.
