What is the safe driving distance?
1 Answers
Safe driving distances are categorized as follows: on highways, maintain a safe distance of over 100 meters; during fast driving, the safe distance should numerically equal the speed (in km/h); at medium speeds, keep a safe distance of no less than 50 meters; at low speeds, maintain a safe distance of no less than 30 meters; during very slow driving, ensure a safe distance of no less than 10 meters. Below are relevant details about safe driving distances: 1. Definition: A safe driving distance refers to the necessary gap a following vehicle maintains to avoid accidental collisions with the vehicle ahead; 2. Measurement Criteria: There is no absolute standard for safe distances, only dynamic standards. The most direct and significant factor affecting safe distance is speed. As speed increases, the required braking force, braking distance, and the distance traveled at original speed during reaction time all increase accordingly. Maintaining a safe distance requires controlling speed.
