Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You drive at the speed limit on a two-lane road. The driver behind you follows very closely. What is the safest thing to do?
Silver B follows close behind blue A on a two-lane road. The road ahead of A has no measured following interval.
Correct answer: Leave extra space ahead, and let the driver pass when it is safe.
Why
Rear-end crashes are the most common type of crash on Nevada roads. You cannot control the gap behind you, but you can control the gap in front of you. If the driver signals to pass, keep right in your lane and let the car go by. Stay calm and do not challenge the other driver.
