Question 4046

Starting at the sign shown in the photograph, what minimum safe following distance are you required to keep from the motorcycle?

  1. At least 50 meters.
  2. A gap that allows you to stop in case it brakes suddenly.
  3. A gap that allows the vehicle traveling behind to pass safely.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A gap that allows you to stop in case it brakes suddenly.

In the image, the no-passing sign means no one may pass you on that section, so you do not have to leave room for them to do so. Keep enough space behind the motorcycle to stop if it brakes suddenly. The 50-meter gap is required for large vehicles, and it does not apply where passing is prohibited either.
