What does the sign 'Keep a Safe Distance' mean?
1 Answers
The 'Keep a Safe Distance' sign is used to warn drivers to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Here are some precautions regarding distance: 1. Avoid following vehicles that block your view: Try not to follow vehicles that obstruct your line of sight. If you are behind a large vehicle, a significant area ahead is blocked, making it difficult to see if there are vehicles in the blind spot. If an accident occurs in the blind spot, you will have little time to react. 2. Use intermittent braking to alert the vehicle behind: When braking on the highway, always use intermittent braking to alert the vehicle behind. Some drivers may become fatigued while following closely on the highway and may mistake the braking lights for other lights like the width indicator. Using intermittent braking causes the high-mounted brake light to flash, making it more noticeable and easier for the following vehicle to detect promptly.
