Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When driving through tunnels or underpasses with no intention of overtaking, it is mandatory to maintain a greater safety distance than on open roads. For motorcycles and passenger cars, this distance must be at least 100 meters or a minimum interval of 4 seconds with the preceding vehicle. This measure seeks to avoid chain collisions in the event of sudden braking within a confined space. For vehicles over 3,500 kg, the distance increases to 150 meters.
