At what speed should the driver of a passenger car drive behind this vehicle if the tunnel is outside a built-up area and its length is 600 m?
aSuch speed as to maintain a distance of at least 50 m.
bSuch speed as to maintain a distance of at least 80 m.
cSuch speed as to maintain a distance of at least 5 m.
Why?
The image shows you following a car through a tunnel, and its stated length of 600 m exceeds the 500 m threshold. Outside a built-up area, a passenger car with a maximum authorised mass of up to 3.5 tonnes must maintain at least 50 m in such a tunnel. The 80 m requirement applies to vehicle combinations, among others, while 5 m applies when stopped because of traffic conditions or traffic rules.
