Question 7097
Every driver of a vehicle traveling behind another is required to leave between the two, at a minimum...
- a distance of 50 meters.
- a distance that allows vehicles following behind to pass safely.
- a clear space that allows them to stop, in case of sudden braking, without colliding with it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: a clear space that allows them to stop, in case of sudden braking, without colliding with it.
When following another vehicle, the minimum requirement is to leave enough space to stop without hitting it if it brakes suddenly. The 50-meter gap is required for large vehicles, and the gap that allows others to pass you is required on roads outside built-up areas with one lane in each direction, so neither is the general rule.
