When driving a **combination of vehicles over 10 meters in length** on a two-way road, it is mandatory to maintain a **minimum distance of 50 meters** from the vehicle in front. This rule is applied to ensure road safety, as long vehicles need more space to stop safely in the event of a sudden and unexpected braking.


This rule is specific to long combinations of vehicles and vehicles that can carry more than 3,500 kilos, due to their size and weight, which require more time and space to stop. In contrast, other vehicles, such as a truck with a 3,000-kilo MMA or when driving at the maximum permitted speed, do not have this specific obligation to maintain a 50-meter distance.
