Correct answer
100 metres.
At least 100 metres or a minimum four-second gap. Above 3,500 kg MAM it is 150 metres or six seconds. Not intending to overtake is part of this rule. Also maintain sufficient separation to stop without collision, considering speed and grip: the figure does not guarantee avoiding every crash.
