Your average family sedan will probably do 0-100 in what, 8-10 seconds if wringing its neck? Add the obligatory "2 second safe gap" into the equation...

For a 300m gap you will get 10 seconds grace if the vehicle in the left hand lane is doing 100km/h

For a 400m gap you will get 14 seconds grace if the vehicle in the left hand lane is doing 100km/h
