DDifficulty 3/5

For a 22,000 kg maximum-authorised-mass articulated bus not intending to overtake, in which situation do the regulations require at least 150 metres clearance or a minimum six-second interval?

Correct answer

When driving through an underpass with no intention of overtaking.

In tunnels or underpasses, under Article 95.6. Because the bus exceeds 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass, at least 150 metres or six seconds applies when not intending to overtake. Clearance must also permit stopping without collision: increase it if conditions require. This does not create a 150-metre minimum on every interurban road or bus lane.
