Question 4387
On this two-way road, which vehicles must maintain a minimum separation of 50 meters from the vehicle ahead when they do not intend to pass?
- Passenger cars.
- Vehicle combinations more than 10 meters in length.
- All trucks, regardless of their MMA.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Vehicle combinations more than 10 meters in length.
In the image, you are following a truck on a two-way road with one lane in each direction and a broken line. If you do not intend to pass, you must leave room for others to pass you. That gap must be at least 50 meters for vehicles and vehicle combinations over 10 meters long and those with a maximum authorized mass over 3,500 kg. A 3,000 kg truck under 10 meters long, like a passenger car, must leave enough room, with no fixed distance.
