Question 2093

When a vehicle is following another very closely, it is important for the vehicle being followed to…

  1. Brake sharply to make the car behind move farther away.
  2. Increase its safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
  3. Move to one side immediately so that the vehicle behind can pass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increase its safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.

Increasing the space between you and the vehicle ahead allows you to brake more gradually. This reduces the risk of being hit from behind by a vehicle following too closely.
