The rule of thumb is to stay three car lengths behind in order to have enough time to react safely if the vehicle in front behaves unexpectedly e.g. hard braking.

Be prepared for sudden stops by keeping a cushion between you and the vehicle ahead
Not applying enough pressure to the accelerator. Or driving in heavy traffic.
Not enough, if at all.
Far enough that you could go around it without backing up, in case the one in front stalls or there is an emergency. It's difficult to put that in to a measurement of feet.
no unless it has enough force
Yes. Providing the adult is old enough and has a valid drivers license
The merging vehicle and that of any driver on the road must slow down to allow you to merge in safely. They will need to adjust their carÕs speed and position in the road. You must yield to any vehicle that is too far ahead for them to allow you into the flow into traffic. Some cars do not give room for others cars to merge into traffic. So watch and make sure there is enough distance ahead and behind for you to move.
Usually car that only overheat in traffic have a radiator fan that does not work. It will not over heat while driving because their is enough air flow.
No. If you're driving fast enough to cause a noticeable Doppler shift in the apparent color of the traffic lights, then you have several speeding tickets coming for sure, no questions asked.
In general, it is true that it is less dangerous to drive on rural roads than it is to drive in heavy traffic, simply because there is less danger of colliding with other vehicles. But if you drive badly enough, you can still collide with a tree, while driving on a rural road.
Make sure the road is clear of oncoming traffic, and be sure you have enough room to complete the pass safely.
