Correct answer
Increasing travel speed.
An increase in speed. More distance is covered during the same reaction time and braking distance also increases. Article 54 requires enough space to stop without collision, considering speed, grip and braking. If road surface, visibility or vehicle conditions change, adapt the gap even if speed does not increase. This question holds those conditions constant to compare speed alone.
