Maintaining Safe Following Distance

• The driver must keep a sufficient distance when following another vehicle.
• This distance ensures that they can stop in time, even if the vehicle in front brakes unexpectedly.

Braking and Stopping Guidelines

• Abrupt Braking: This is allowed only when no vehicle is following or in an emergency.
• Stopping in Traffic: When traffic is at a standstill, do not stop on pedestrian crossings or on the carriageway for cross traffic at junctions.

Maintaining Safe Distance

• If following a vehicle with the right of way, maintain a distance of about 100 meters.
• Insufficient distance is a leading cause of rear-end collisions.
• Use the 2 Seconds Rule to help maintain a safe following distance.
