Question 7095
The driver of a combination of vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,500 kg who is driving through a tunnel and does not intend to pass must leave a gap of...
- at least 150 meters from the vehicle ahead.
- at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead.
- at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead.
In a tunnel, if you are not going to pass, the minimum gap of 150 meters or 6 seconds applies to vehicles and vehicle combinations with a maximum authorized mass over 3,500 kg. A combination of exactly 3,500 kg does not exceed that figure, so you must leave at least 100 meters or 4 seconds, just as with a passenger car. In the image, the vehicle ahead is a car towing a small trailer.
