Question 7096

In a tunnel, if you are driving with no intention of passing, you must keep the following distance from the vehicle ahead of you:

  1. at least 100 meters.
  2. at least 150 meters.
  3. 50 meters when driving below the maximum permitted speed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: at least 100 meters.

In a tunnel, if you are not going to pass, you must leave at least 100 meters or 4 seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. Driving below the speed limit of 80 km/h shown on the sign in the image does not allow you to reduce that gap to 50 meters. The 150 meters or 6 seconds applies to vehicles with a maximum authorized mass over 3,500 kg.
