Correct answer
Also monitor vehicles approaching from behind.
Monitor approaching traffic in the mirrors while continuing to attend to what happens ahead. Keep an appropriate forward gap and act progressively to avoid surprising other drivers. If immobilised in dangerous circumstances, signal as required by the applicable rules. There is no universal five- or six-metre gap for every queue, or requirement to hold the brake pedal permanently in every situation. These measures reduce risk but do not guarantee prevention of every rear-end collision.
