When traveling behind another vehicle that you do not intend to overtake, what safety distance must you keep?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, every driver traveling behind another vehicle must keep a safety distance that allows the vehicle to be stopped in the event of sudden braking without colliding with it. In addition, outside built-up areas, when there is no intention to overtake, that separation must allow the vehicle behind to overtake and pull in safely between the two. Setting fixed figures such as 50 meters or twice the length of the moped is incorrect, since the necessary distance always varies depending on speed and the condition of the road.
