Question 2112

On which roads must you leave a safe following distance behind the vehicle ahead to allow another vehicle to pass?

  1. On roads with one lane in each direction.
  2. On roads outside built-up areas with two or more lanes in each direction.
  3. On freeways and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On roads with one lane in each direction.

On roads with one lane in each direction, drivers who do not intend to pass must leave space for another vehicle to pass safely. This gap is in addition to the distance needed to avoid a collision when braking.
