Question 7093

On this road, what distance must you maintain between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead that you do not intend to pass?

  1. The safe following distance and the distance that allows others to pass.
  2. The safe following distance only.
  3. 50 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The safe following distance and the distance that allows others to pass.

In the image, the double solid line ends and a broken line continues on a road with one lane in each direction. Passing is allowed from that point on, so if you do not intend to pass, you must leave enough distance to brake, plus room for others to pass you. The 50-meter gap applies to large vehicles.
