Emergency ProceduresDifficulty: 1/5
You are driving on a clear, dry motorway at 70 mph. How should you help ensure you can stop safely if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly?
Explanation
The Highway Code (Rule 115 and related guidance on safe distances) advises that you should always keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front so you can stop safely. On a dry road, you should use the ‘two-second rule’ at normal speeds, including on motorways at 70 mph. This time gap allows for your reaction time and braking distance if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. In wet or poor conditions, you should at least double this gap.
