What following distance rules do you actually use in different conditions?
#1
The standard "three second rule" for following distance is taught in driver's ed, but I'm curious what following distance rules experienced drivers actually use in practice.

How do your following distance rules change based on conditions? What following distance rules do you follow in heavy rain, at night, or when towing something?

I'm particularly interested in how you maintain proper following distance rules when other drivers keep cutting in front of you. What techniques work for enforcing your following distance rules without being overly aggressive?
