Why should a driver stay well back from the vehicle ahead?
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: It gives room to stop if traffic ahead changes suddenly.
Why
A larger gap protects reaction and braking time and improves the view ahead.
