The driver of a vehicle which moves behind another has the obligation to keep a sufficient distance from it, to avoid the collision. This obligation must be respected always.

In the situation in which you are in a signalized intersection and you stop suddenly, because the green signal changes to yellow, and the driver of another vehicle, which moves very close, hits you from behind, the one who has erred is the driver of the vehicle behind, because he did not keep a sufficient distance to avoid the collision, in the situation in which the one in front reduces the speed or brakes suddenly.

The failure to keep this distance, if through this an accident occurred from which resulted the damaging of a vehicle or other material damages, is sanctioned with the fine provided in the second class of sanctions and with the application of 3 penalty points.

The correct answer is: B
