You are driving behind another vehicle and want to overtake it. What distance must you keep?
Overtaking
Explanation
To safely overtake another vehicle, it is essential to maintain the **safe distance**. This distance is the minimum space necessary to avoid collisions in the event of a sudden and unexpected braking of the vehicle in front.
- The **safe distance** varies according to speed and road conditions. At higher speeds or in worse conditions, this distance should be increased.
- Maintaining this distance is crucial to be able to stop in time if the vehicle in front suddenly brakes.
- In situations where overtaking is allowed, it is important to leave enough space to perform the maneuver safely and allow other vehicles to overtake comfortably as well.
Therefore, when overtaking, the **safe distance** must always be respected to ensure the safety of all road users.
