If you do not intend to overtake, what safety distance must you keep from the preceding vehicle when facing a regulatory sign indicating 70 meters?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Sign R-300 ("Minimum separation") prohibits driving without keeping a separation from the preceding vehicle equal to or greater than the one shown on the sign itself (here, 70 meters), except to carry out an overtaking maneuver. That is why the correct distance is equal to or greater than 70 meters: the figure is the minimum that must be observed. Saying that a distance equal to or less than 70 meters is enough sets a maximum limit instead of a minimum safety distance. And limiting the obligation to those driving behind a passenger car is false, because the sign applies regardless of the type of vehicle ahead.
