BDifficulty 2/5

To establish a safe following distance, you should consider...

Correct answer

Speed, visibility, grip and braking conditions.

Speed and grip and braking conditions, particularly identified in Article 54.1, as well as visibility and road and vehicle condition. Leave room to stop without collision if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. Speed alone or one fixed distance is insufficient in every situation; additional specific separation rules may apply.
