When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters. Below is relevant information about safe following distance: 1. Calculation of safe following distance: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters; when the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the minimum safe following distance should not be less than 50 meters. 2. Precautions: (1) Pay attention to the warning signs and auxiliary lines on the highway. When driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, maintain a safe distance of more than 200 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. (2) In adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, etc., it is essential to stay alert and increase the safe driving distance. When encountering low visibility conditions like fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail, exercise extra caution, increase the following distance by more than double, and ensure to maintain a safe distance to prevent rear-end collisions.
