Correct answer

  • ALa suficiente para no colisionar con él.Enough not to collide with it.
Explanation

In built-up areas you are not required to leave space for others to overtake or to keep 50 metres: the safe distance that lets you stop without crashing if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly is enough. This rule also applies to mopeds.
