Which TWO statements about keeping a safe distance and sudden braking are correct? Select TWO
💡 Hint
You must keep enough distance to avoid a collision even if the vehicle ahead stops suddenly, and you must not brake suddenly unless it is unavoidable, such as to prevent danger (Article 19(1) and (4) of the Road Traffic Act). Note that sudden braking to warn or retaliate is not preventing danger.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
Article 19(1) of the Road Traffic Act requires a distance that lets you avoid hitting the car ahead if it stops suddenly, and Article 19(4) forbids sudden braking except to prevent danger or in other unavoidable cases. Braking hard to warn a tailgater is not danger prevention; it is a retaliatory act that can cause a rear-end crash. Braking suddenly for no reason is not allowed even on an empty road.
