What is the safe driving distance in meters?
1 Answers
There is no absolute standard for safe following distance, only dynamic standards. The most direct and important factor affecting safe following distance is vehicle speed. When the speed increases, the required braking force, braking distance, and the distance traveled at the original speed during the reaction time all increase accordingly. The introduction to safe driving distance is as follows: High-speed driving: When the speed is above 100km/h, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters. Fast driving: When the speed is above 60km/h, the safe following distance numerically equals the speed. For example, at 80km/h, the safe distance is 80 meters. Medium-speed driving: When the speed is around 50km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 50 meters. Low-speed driving: When the speed is below 40km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 30 meters. Crawling speed: When the speed is below 20km/h, the safe following distance should not be less than 10 meters.
