Speed, distance & stopping distance

On the N242 near Opmeer the car ahead passes a noise-barrier post. You count until you reach that same post and get to 1.5 seconds. What does this mean?

That is fine, because the law itself names an exact 1.5 to 2 second range
You are counting wrong: you must start counting from your own car, not from the car ahead
You are following too closely — less than the minimum 2 seconds

Explanation

Wrong — trap: treating the 2-second rule as literal law text. The law names no number at all; 2 seconds is the book's rule of thumb, and 1.5 seconds is less than that minimum (Book p.123).
