Show answer
Correct answer
- C100 metros, como mínimo.100 metres at least.
The correct answer is 100 metres at least, because vehicles with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of up to 3,500 kg must keep a distance of 100 metres or 4 seconds when driving through tunnels or underpasses. This safe distance is needed to drive safely and avoid collisions if the vehicle in front brakes sharply.
