What gap should be maintained from the vehicle that is driving in front of us?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- A gap of thirty meters, in order to allow safe stoppage.
- A gap of forty meters, in order to prevent an accident.
- A gap of at least three seconds.
- A gap which always allows us to stop and prevent a collision..
Why this matters beyond the test: The 2-second rule and safe stopping distance -- the margin that actually determines whether a sudden stop ahead of you ends in a near-miss or a rear-end collision.
