Correct answer
At least 70 metres, except when overtaking.
R-300 requires a minimum separation of 70 metres from the vehicle ahead. The exception applies when about to overtake; it does not remove the general duty to maintain a safe distance or the other conditions for overtaking. It does not state a maximum distance.
