Driving on a road that has one lane for each direction, what safety distance must we maintain with the vehicle in front if we intend to overtake it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The risk of sudden braking by the vehicle in front exists at any time and on any type of road. Therefore, we must always maintain a safety distance that allows us to stop the vehicle without colliding. When intending to overtake, it is not necessary to leave the additional distance for others to overtake us.
