Explanation

In tunnels, you must keep a minimum safe distance of 100 metres from the vehicle in front, unless you intend to overtake. This rule is in the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which say that the safe distance must be enough to avoid collisions if the vehicle in front brakes sharply. The reason for this rule is to keep traffic safe in an enclosed and potentially dangerous place like a tunnel, where reaction and braking times can be different because of visibility and the number of other vehicles.
