Question 1678
You are driving behind another vehicle and want to pass it. What distance must you maintain?
- Twice the length of the vehicle.
- At least the safe following distance.
- At least 50 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: At least the safe following distance.
Intending to pass does not remove the requirement to maintain a safe following distance. You must leave enough space to stop without a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
