Correct answer

  • BUna distancia suficiente para poder detenernos sin chocar con ese vehículo.Enough distance to be able to stop without hitting that vehicle.
Explanation

Article 54.1 of the General Traffic Regulations requires you to leave a space that allows you to stop without hitting the vehicle in front. The extra gap that lets others overtake you (Article 54.2) does not apply where overtaking is prohibited (Article 54.3.b).
