Question 3207

In this situation, what is the safe following distance between vehicles?

  1. A distance that allows me to stop without colliding with the vehicle ahead.
  2. 60 meters.
  3. 90 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A distance that allows me to stop without colliding with the vehicle ahead.

The gap must allow you to stop without a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. It must be adjusted to speed, traction, and braking capacity, not to a fixed number of meters.
