Correct answer

  • CDos o tres metros para no chocar con el coche de delante si nos golpean por detrás.Two or three metres, so as not to hit the car in front if we are hit from behind.
Explanation

When stopped in a traffic jam, it is best to leave two or three metres to the vehicle in front. If another vehicle hits us from behind, this space stops us from hitting the one in front, and it also lets us manoeuvre out if the vehicle ahead breaks down.
