Correct answer
Both when riding in built-up areas and outside them
Both within and outside built-up areas. The gap must allow stopping without a collision if the vehicle ahead brakes sharply, considering speed, grip and braking capability. Urban traffic does not remove rear-end collision risk. If conditions worsen, adapt speed and increase the margin; one fixed figure is not enough for every situation.
