How many feet should I leave between my car and the car in front of me when we are stopped at a light or sign ?

Q: measurements if possible ex 10ft 15ft 20ft... thank you for all your answers

A: As a rule, you should be able to see the rear tires of the car in front of you. You can use measurements, but there are reasons not to leave a whole car-space. Some cars will attempt to squeeze in. I am a retired driving instructor. Also don't wait until the last minute to stop. If the passenger feels like screaming or pressing on the imaginary breaks, the driver is moving too fast.
