If you follow 4 seconds behind a neighbor driving to work, how much later will you arrive at the office?

Maintaining a following distance of 4 seconds behind another vehicle means that you are keeping a consistent gap relative to that vehicle's speed. Therefore, if you are following directly behind someone else and they remain at a steady pace, you will arrive at your destination at the same time as them, assuming both vehicles are moving towards the same destination without any interruptions.

In this situation, the additional 4 seconds of travel time does not accumulate to a significant delay in arrival once the journey is complete. Hence, driving 4 seconds behind merely means that you are maintaining a safe distance, not causing a delay in arrival time when compared to the vehicle you are following. Thus, the correct answer highlights that the extra time before arriving at the office, based solely on the following distance, is just those 4 seconds.
