You are driving through a tunnel with a vehicle whose Maximum Authorized Mass is less than 3500 kg. What safety distance must you keep from the vehicle in front of you?
Right of way
Explanation
When driving through a **tunnel** with a vehicle weighing less than 3500 kg of Maximum Authorized Mass, it is important to maintain an appropriate **safety distance** to avoid collisions in case of sudden braking.
- The specific regulations for tunnels indicate that you must leave at least **100 meters** of distance with the vehicle in front. This distance is crucial to ensure that you can stop in time if the vehicle in front brakes unexpectedly.
- This rule applies to vehicles that do not exceed 3500 kg. For heavier vehicles, the required distance is greater, at **150 meters**.
- Maintaining this distance is not only a matter of safety but also of compliance with traffic regulations, which aim to prevent accidents in situations of reduced visibility and limited space, as is the case in tunnels.
Therefore, the correct answer is to maintain at least **100 meters** of distance from the vehicle in front.
