Answer:
Increasing following distance to Four-seconds when encountering other motorists who follow too closely is an example of appropriate implementation of the IPDE defensive driving strategy for the maintenance of an appropriate Safety Cushion.
Explanation:
Maintaining the required safety cushion by utilizing the IPDE defensive driving strategy to manage the nine to fifteen space driving zones involves continuous scanning. Therefore, motorists should be able to identify objects and hazards in the driving scene, line of sight, and path of travel. They should predict points of driving conflicts. They should determine appropriate and safe driving actions to take, when, and where. Finally, action is required to ensure that conflicts are avoided.
