Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 54(2) of the General Traffic Regulations requires vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg, and vehicles or combined vehicles longer than 10 meters, to keep a minimum gap of 50 meters from the vehicle in front that they do not intend to overtake. According to Article 54(3), this rule does not apply in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, where there is more than one lane in the same direction of travel (as on motorways, dual carriageways or multilane conventional sections), or when traffic is so congested that it makes overtaking impossible.
