What is the Safe Following Distance on Highways?
1 Answers
Highway safe following distance varies depending on the situation: 1. When the speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, a distance of more than 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle in front in the same lane; 2. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but should not be less than 50 meters. Precautions for driving on highways include: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not answer phone calls; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle in front, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 4. Only adjacent lanes are allowed for overtaking, and the vehicle should immediately return to the driving lane after overtaking. Vehicles must not ride or drive on the lane dividing line; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, cross the central divider to make a U-turn or turn, conduct test drives, drive training vehicles, or overtake or park on ramps.
