Correct answer
- AAl menos 100 metros si no se va a adelantar.At least 100 metres if you are not going to overtake.
In tunnels, the rules require you to keep a safe distance of at least 100 metres, or a minimum gap of four seconds, from the vehicle in front, especially when you do not intend to overtake. This is essential for safety in an enclosed space, where visibility is poorer and the risk of collisions is higher. The General Traffic Regulations (RGC) include this measure to prevent serious accidents and help traffic move safely.
