Is it dangerous to drive very close to the vehicle driving in front?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is highly dangerous behavior and is the leading cause of rear-end collisions. According to traffic regulations, every driver must maintain a safety distance that allows them to stop the vehicle without colliding if the one in front brakes suddenly. Even if your brakes are in perfect condition or you are driving at the same speed, there is a reaction time (the time it takes to press the brake pedal after seeing the danger), during which the car continues to move forward. If you are too close, you will crash before the brakes can act effectively.
