I've learned that with a distance of 2 seconds you have always the right distance to the other car, independent with which speed. That is easier as to calculate the meters, enogh to look when the car in front passes some mark (post, tree, some sign...), count 21 ..22. When you then pass this mark, you have a distance that allows you to stop safely.
