The safety distance is the space that allows you to stop, in the event of sudden braking, without colliding with the vehicle in front, taking into account the speed and the conditions of grip and braking. Furthermore, if we do not intend to overtake, we must leave space so that the vehicle behind us can overtake.
In tunnels and underpasses we must maintain a safety distance from the preceding vehicle of at least 100 metres or 4 seconds. Vehicles with more than 3,500 kg MMA, 150 metres or 6 seconds.
