Correct answer
100 metres.
At least 100 metres or a 4-second interval, under Article 95.6. For vehicles over 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass, it is at least 150 metres or 6 seconds. It is not “less than 100 metres”. Always also keep enough separation to avoid a collision considering speed, grip and other conditions; the legal minimum alone does not guarantee safety in every situation.
