You are checking your following gap using a fixed roadside marker. When should you begin counting?
Correct answer: When the rear of the vehicle ahead passes the marker.
Time the interval from the leading vehicle passing a fixed point until you reach it. Increase the space for limited visibility, traffic conflicts or reduced traction; no single interval fits every situation.
