Question 7103
On this two-way road, you are driving a combination of vehicles 11 meters long. If you do not intend to pass, what separation must you leave from the vehicle traveling ahead of you?
- 50 meters.
- The separation that, in the event of sudden braking, allows you to stop without colliding with it.
- 100 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 50 meters.
Your vehicle combination is more than 10 meters long. On a two-way road with one lane in each direction and a broken line, like the one in the image, if you are not going to pass, you must leave at least 50 meters between you and the vehicle ahead so others can pass you. Leaving enough distance to brake without a collision is still mandatory, but here that alone is not enough.
