When driving a truck on a section regulated by sign R-300 with the figure 70 inside it, what mandatory front gap must you keep from the vehicle ahead if you do not intend to overtake it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Sign R-300 ("Minimum separation") prohibits driving without keeping a gap from the vehicle ahead that is equal to or greater than the figure indicated in meters, except in order to overtake. With the number 70 it sets a lower limit that must not be gone below: you must keep a safety distance of at least 70 meters. That is why the correct answer is the one of at least 70 meters. Understanding the 70 meters as a maximum, or driving at less than that distance, would violate the prohibition set by the sign.
