I've always followed the rule of 1 car length for every 10 miles per hour you're going.

I always (sometimes) do three seconds between me and the car in front of me. That automatically adjusts for increased speed.

When I did driver's training, they recommended about 2 seconds of distance. I find it to be a reasonable distance most of the time.

2 seconds is not enough. Average human reaction time takes more than half that time. I was also taught to keep 3 seconds minimum distance on average 80 km/h zone. Faster driving, more distance should be kept.
