Also, people can't reliably judge a "car's length". It's a ridiculous measurement system, let alone travelling at 100 kmh.

Timed gap makes so much more sense and it remains mostly consistent regardless of speed. As in, you should have 3 seconds of gap regardless of if you're traveling 20 kmh or 100 kmh.

Are they talking average car length, your own cars length? One of my cars is a little over twice as long as one of the others. Timed gap truly is the better rule.
