Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
Another driver follows too closely. What is the safest response when conditions allow?
On a divided road with two eastbound lanes, blue A is in the left lane. Silver C follows A closely, and B is farther ahead. The right lane is empty in the illustrated segment. The opposite carriageway is outside the view. Positions alone do not establish time gaps.
Correct answer: Leave more space ahead and let the driver pass.
Why
More space ahead permits gradual braking, while allowing the follower by can reduce the rear conflict.
