Question 4140
On urban roads, if you do not intend to pass, what safe following distance must you keep from the passenger car traveling ahead of you?
- Always 50 meters.
- The distance that allows you to stop without colliding with the vehicle ahead if it brakes suddenly.
- Whatever distance allows a motorcycle to pass safely.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The distance that allows you to stop without colliding with the vehicle ahead if it brakes suddenly.
In built-up areas, you do not have to leave room for others to pass you, and the 50-meter gap does not apply either. You must keep enough space behind the passenger car ahead to stop without a collision if it brakes suddenly.
