Trying to lower my Unsafe Following and a little confused. Was at 2% this morning and did 10 miles and I was behind a car in the HOV lane and keep a 3+ to 4 second distance. My score stayed the same. I then tried the same drive and tried to keep a more consistent 3 second distance. This time I lowered to 1.5%. It is very hard to precisely stay at 3 seconds so what happens as you get closer?
How far is the max distance allowed to count as a Following positive rating (3 second???) and what is the min to get negative rating (1 second???)? In other words what really is the starting spot, the sweet spot, the negative or is it variable.
For instance is it:

For instance is it:
- 1 second of less counts against you but you must be within 3 seconds to count? So 3 seconds to 1 second you get an even percentage of milage positive. 1 second or less and you get an even percentage of mileage against you?
- Or is it more like exactly 3 second and you get the most percentage positive and it starts to decline as you get closer and at about 1.1 second it is nothing. Then as you get closer it starts subtracting more of a percentage the closer you get.
- Or something else?
