Question 15 of 554

The distance that you must keep from the motor vehicle that is moving ahead of you is determined depending on:

A your ability to avoid a suddenly appearing obstacle;
B the make, category and engine capacity of the motor vehicle ahead;
C the travelling speed, the weather and traffic conditions.

Explanation

The driver of a vehicle that moves behind another has the obligation to keep a sufficient distance from it for avoiding the collision, depending on the travelling speed, the weather and traffic conditions. This obligation must always be respected and the distance must be adapted depending on the travelling speed, the weather and traffic conditions, regardless of the ability that you have to avoid a suddenly appearing obstacle and regardless of the make, category and engine capacity of the motor vehicle ahead.

If a sufficient distance is not kept from the vehicle in front for avoiding the collision, adapted to the travelling speed, the weather and traffic conditions, the risk of traffic accidents increases very much, and in the case of a traffic accident, the one at fault is the driver of the vehicle behind, because he did not keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front.

The correct answer is: C
