Show answer

Correct answer

  • B100 metros.100 metres.
Explanation

The General Traffic Regulations (RGC), specifically the article on tunnels, state that in tunnels you must keep a safe distance of at least 100 metres when you do not intend to overtake. This is essential so that, if there is sudden braking, there is enough space to prevent collisions. The right safe distance is vital for traffic safety and helps avoid accidents in an enclosed space such as a tunnel. So the correct answer is 100 metres.
