The answer is <u><em>false</em></u>. 1 second is way too close. It's around the 3-4 second space. You'll learn this in drivers ed if you haven't already.

The answer is false.

A 1-second space between you and the vehicle in front of you is almost no time at all to react to the vehicle's movements, which would lead to a risk of crashing. Depending on the conditions of the road and weather, you want to keep at least a 3-second space between you and the vehicle to ensure that you have enough time to react and safely maneuver the car so you don't crash into him.
