Question 6101
In which case must the safe following distance be increased?
- When the speed of the vehicles decreases.
- When preparing to pass another vehicle.
- When the speed of the vehicles increases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the speed of the vehicles increases.
The faster you go, the more meters you travel while reacting and while braking. That's why you must leave more space between you and the vehicle ahead as your speed increases. At lower speeds, you need less.
