What is the safe distance between vehicles?
1 Answers
The safe distance between vehicles depends on the speed. When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, it should maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle in front can be appropriately shortened, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters. When driving on the highway under low visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, the following regulations should be observed: (1) When visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, and front and rear position lights. The speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. (2) When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and maintain a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. (3) When visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on the fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour, and exit the highway from the nearest exit as soon as possible.
