Question 7094
You are driving a passenger car. What distance must you keep from the passenger car traveling ahead of you?
- A distance that allows you to stop your vehicle without colliding with it, whether or not you intend to pass.
- At least 50 meters.
- A distance that allows you to stop your vehicle in case of sudden braking, without colliding with it, if you do not intend to pass.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A distance that allows you to stop your vehicle without colliding with it, whether or not you intend to pass.
You must always keep enough distance to stop without a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, whether you intend to pass it or not. What depends on your intention is the extra gap for others to pass you. For a passenger car, there is no fixed 50-meter gap.
