Why should you increase following space when darkness reduces your view of the road ahead?
A blue car follows a white car along the same lane after dark.
Correct answer: It gives more time to react to hazards that are harder to see.
Why
Leave more space when darkness makes the road or distances harder to judge. This gives you a larger margin to identify a hazard and respond if the vehicle ahead slows. Keep observing beyond that vehicle when possible. Choose the gap for the actual speed and conditions; no single distance in metres is established by this lesson.
