Explanation

In a tunnel, when we do not intend to overtake, we must always keep a safe distance of at least 100 metres, or a gap of at least four seconds, from the vehicle in front. Vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kg must keep a safe distance of at least 150 metres, or a gap of at least six seconds, from the vehicle in front.
