What is the safe following distance when driving at 100 km/h on highways?
1 Answers
When driving on highways, if the vehicle speed exceeds 100 km/h, the driver should maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. When the speed is below 100 km/h, this distance can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters. When driving on highways under low visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail, the following regulations should be observed: When visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam headlights, clearance lamps, and front and rear position lights. The speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam headlights, clearance lamps, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 40 km/h, and maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. When visibility is less than 50 meters, turn on fog lights, low beam headlights, clearance lamps, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 20 km/h, and exit the highway as soon as possible from the nearest exit.
