You are following car A in lane 2 of a road with two lanes each way. Car A is driving very close behind car B ahead of it. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is following car A in lane 2
- Car A is driving very close behind car B
- Lane 1 is empty
💡 Hint
When following a vehicle, you must keep a distance that lets you avoid a collision even if it stops suddenly (Article 19(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Do not watch only the car directly ahead; if it is tailgating another car, sudden braking can pass down the line in a chain.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When following a vehicle, you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision even if it stops suddenly (Road Traffic Act Article 19(1)). Because car A is so close to car B, car A is likely to brake suddenly if car B stops, so it is safer to look beyond car A and leave an even larger gap. Tailgating to stop others cutting in, or sounding the horn repeatedly (Article 49(1)8), is wrong.
