If you see in the mirrors that the vehicle behind you is getting too close to your moped, what safety measure must you take?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In defensive driving, if a vehicle is following right on the rear of our moped without respecting the regulatory distance, the correct maneuver is to increase the safety distance from the vehicle ahead of us. By widening this front space, we will have more margin in time and space to brake smoothly and progressively in the face of any unexpected event, avoiding sudden braking that would cause a rear-end collision. In addition, this extra space makes it easier for the vehicle behind us to overtake cleanly and safely. By contrast, accelerating or reproaching its attitude considerably increases speed and the risk of suffering a serious road accident.
