My father taught me to leave enough space in front of me in case of being hit, but also in case I need to get out of the line for some reason. I've had to get out of line a number of times over the years due to accidents. I have 3 routes I can take to get to work, so once I realize there's an accident I can just turn around and go another way. Works out well, but sure does piss off people behind me sometimes.

Most importantly, you need enough space to account for your reaction speed + the time your vehicle takes to brake. On slow traffic that's one or two cars but as you approach highway speeds it's like 15, which no one observes. And higher during snow or rain.
