According to the Michigan handbook, what minimum following gap should you leave behind a horse or horse-drawn vehicle?
Correct answer: 20 feet.
Why
The handbook advises following a horse or horse-drawn vehicle from at least 20 feet away and passing cautiously at about 15 to 20 mph. Avoid sudden noise or movements that could startle the animal. These numbers are handbook safety guidance, not a general statutory speed limit or following-distance rule.
