Question 831

What safe following distance must the driver of the vehicle behind this passenger car maintain after passing the circular sign?

  1. Enough to allow other vehicles to pass.
  2. 50 meters.
  3. Enough to avoid colliding with it if it brakes suddenly or unexpectedly.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Enough to avoid colliding with it if it brakes suddenly or unexpectedly.

Even where passing is prohibited, you must maintain enough distance to avoid a rear-end collision if the passenger car brakes suddenly. The additional gap intended to make other drivers' passing maneuvers easier is not required.
