Question 5231
In a tunnel, if you are driving without intending to pass, you must maintain a distance from the vehicle ahead...
- that allows the driver behind to pass safely.
- of at least 100 meters.
- sufficient to avoid colliding with it in case of sudden braking.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: of at least 100 meters.
In a tunnel, if you do not intend to pass, the rule requires you to stay at least 100 meters or 4 seconds behind the vehicle ahead. Even if you could brake in time with less space, you must not go below that minimum. With a maximum authorized mass over 3,500 kg, the minimum increases to 150 meters.
