Mind you, the government of Alberta actually specifies the two second rule, then makes it vague for non-normal conditions. Maybe my definition is not the one. I thought rules were pretty prescriptive?
Damn lawyers.

Yup, probably true. I think if everyone followed at the perfect distance, there would be a lot more space between cars...
