Question 8129
In adverse weather conditions, must the safe following distance be increased?
- Yes, but only at night.
- Yes, in all cases.
- No, never.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, in all cases.
Yes, always. In rain, fog, snow, or ice, you see what is happening ahead later and need more meters to brake, both day and night. The distance from the vehicle ahead must let you stop if it brakes suddenly, and bad weather requires more space.
