Correct answer
- CLa suficiente para no colisionar con él, en caso de frenazo brusco.Enough not to hit it if it brakes sharply.
The driver of a vehicle following another must leave a clear space between them that lets them stop, if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, without hitting it, taking particular account of speed and grip and braking conditions. In addition, the gap kept by a driver following another vehicle without signalling an intention to overtake must be such that the vehicle behind them can in turn overtake them safely, except: in built-up areas; where overtaking is prohibited; where there is more than one lane in the same direction; when traffic is too heavy for overtaking; in the case of cyclists riding in a group.
