How to Determine the Distance Between the Front of the Car and an Obstacle While Driving?

[McAmara]

Here are specific methods to determine the distance between the front of the car and an obstacle: 1. Using the bumper as a reference: When you see the upper edge of the front vehicle's bumper from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is approximately 1 meter; when you see the lower edge of the front vehicle's bumper (or the knee level of a person) from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is about 2 meters. 2. Using the tires as a reference: When you see the lower edge of the front vehicle's rear tires (or the ground) from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is roughly 3 meters. Note: If the vehicle is equipped with front parking sensors, when the alarm sound is very rapid, it indicates that there is at least 50 centimeters of distance between the vehicle and the obstacle ahead.
