Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 50 meters. According to General Traffic Regulations, vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) exceeding 3,500 kg and vehicles or vehicle combinations exceeding 10 meters in length must keep a minimum separation of 50 meters from the vehicle in front on conventional roads (outside built-up areas) when not intending to overtake. This specific distance is mandatory to allow other vehicles to overtake the truck safely and have enough space to merge back into the right lane.
