Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The front safety distance is the space that allows the vehicle to be stopped with complete safety in case of sudden braking by the vehicle ahead, avoiding a rear-end collision. When the roadway is wet, tire grip decreases considerably, which can cause skidding and lengthen the braking distance up to double compared with dry ground. For this reason, when driving a truck (whose weight in itself increases inertia and the meters needed to stop), the front separation must be increased significantly compared with the one that would be kept in favorable weather conditions.
