BDifficulty 2/5

If the vehicle behind gets too close, it is advisable to...

Correct answer

increase the gap with the vehicle in front.

Gradually increase the gap ahead to gain margin and brake smoothly when needed. Do not brake sharply to intimidate the following driver or accelerate beyond limits. Adapt the gap to speed, visibility and grip; no fixed time gap guarantees safety in every situation. If sleepy or fatigued, stop somewhere safe to rest.
