What is the purpose of a space cushion?
Three cars face east on a two-lane carriageway. Blue A is in the right lane, with silver B farther ahead in that lane. Silver C is farther behind in the left lane. There is open space around A. No cushion boundary or movement path appears in the question image.
Correct answer: To leave room to stop or steer around a hazard
Why
Keep space ahead, behind and beside your vehicle so you have room to stop or steer around a hazard. Adjust the cushion as traffic and conditions change, and continue checking your surroundings. The shaded boundary is illustrative; it establishes no measured minimum or exclusive right to that space.
