Correct answer
150 metres.
At least 150 metres or a minimum six-second interval because its MAM exceeds 3,500 kg. The question asks for the distance expressed in metres. For other vehicles, including those with exactly 3,500 kg MAM, the minimum is 100 metres or four seconds. Maintain the gap at all times and increase it when conditions require more distance for safe driving.
