Auto Operator Needs 10 at 60 The average time it takes to pass another vehicle at 60 miles per hour is 10 seconds. At that speed, an auto operator will need nearly one-half mile of clear road space to pass safely, warns the Extension farm and home safety committee of The Pennsylvania State University.
