Correct answer

  • CLa que permita frenar sin colisionar con el vehículo que nos precede.One that allows us to brake without hitting the vehicle in front.
Explanation

Where overtaking is prohibited, the safe distance is enough, meaning one that allows you to stop without hitting the vehicle in front; you do not need to leave a gap for someone else to overtake. In tunnels, at least 100 metres or 4 seconds is required, and 150 metres or 6 seconds if the MAM exceeds 3,500 kg.
