Correct answer
The distance that would allow me to stop without colliding if the vehicle in front of me brakes suddenly.
When driving on roads within a built-up area, you must always leave a safety distance from the vehicles travelling in front. This distance should allow you to stop the vehicle without colliding with it if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Within a built-up area, you do not need to leave distance to make overtaking easier.
