By which rule of thumb can you determine from the speed the distance in metres a motor vehicle travels in one second?

{Speed in km/h}/{10} x 3

{Speed in km/h}/{10} x 5

{Speed in km/h}/{10} x {Speed in km/h}/{10}

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

You answered correctly. In Germany, to quickly estimate how many metres you travel in one second at a given speed, you divide your speed in km/h by 10, then multiply the result by 3. For example, if you’re driving at 50 km/h: 50 divided by 10 is 5, and 5 times 3 is 15. So, you cover about 15 metres in one second at 50 km/h. This simple calculation is a helpful rule of thumb to assess distances and react safely.
