Correct answer
- B100 metros como mínimo.At least 100 metres.
According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), in tunnels it is essential to keep a safe distance of at least 100 metres, or a minimum gap of four seconds, from the vehicle in front. This rule is meant to prevent collisions in such an enclosed space, where conditions can change quickly and it is essential to have enough room to brake in an emergency. If the vehicle behind does not keep this distance, it could cause an accident if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly.
