You are driving a truck with a maximum authorized mass of 3,000 kg. What distance must you keep on this stretch of road?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
3,000 kg truck: distance to keep
- As it is a vehicle with a **Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) below 3,500 kg**, the fixed 50 m separation is not required.
- The **safety distance** must always be maintained: enough space to **stop without colliding** if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly.
- Useful reference: the **two-second rule** in normal conditions; increase to **3–4 seconds** in rain, poor visibility, when carrying a load, or at higher speeds.
