A lorry without a trailer, with MAM 3,000 kg and length under 10 m, travels in a built-up area outside a tunnel with no specific distance sign. What general gap must it maintain behind the preceding vehicle?

Question

sacatelcarnet · Accepted Answer

Enough to stop without collision if the preceding vehicle brakes suddenly.. Enough to stop without collision if the preceding vehicle brakes suddenly, considering speed, grip and braking. Article 54.1 retains this duty in built-up areas. The described scenario does not impose a fixed 50 m gap, and a gap facilitating overtaking is insufficient if it does not permit safe stopping. Tunnels and specific signs can impose other conditions.

Always exactly 50 m, even if conditions require more.

sacatelcarnet · Answer

Only enough to facilitate overtaking, even if stopping without collision is impossible.
