Question 2264

In this situation, what safe following distance must you leave from the vehicle ahead?

  1. Enough to avoid colliding with it if it brakes suddenly.
  2. Enough to avoid colliding with it and to allow other vehicles to pass you safely.
  3. At least 50 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Enough to avoid colliding with it if it brakes suddenly.

You must maintain enough distance to avoid a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. When there are several lanes in the same direction, the additional gap intended to make passing easier is not required.
