Question 1953

On this road, what distance must you keep from the vehicle ahead if you do not intend to pass?

  1. Enough distance to stop without hitting it if it brakes suddenly, and also to allow you to be passed safely.
  2. A minimum distance of 50 meters.
  3. Only enough distance to stop without hitting it if it brakes suddenly.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only enough distance to stop without hitting it if it brakes suddenly.

When there is more than one lane in the same direction, the additional gap to facilitate passing is not required. You must still maintain enough distance to avoid a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.
