Question 3991
It is recommended to increase the safe following distance...
- when the driver is in perfect condition.
- when driving during the day.
- when the vehicle behind gets too close.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: when the vehicle behind gets too close.
If someone is tailgating you, leave more space between you and the vehicle ahead. That extra room lets you brake early and gradually when needed, giving the driver behind time to brake too. Driving during the day or being in top condition are not reasons to increase your following distance.
