Question 1555 in the bank

In order to avoid hitting a vehicle that makes a sudden stop in front of you:

  1. Keep your foot on the brake pedal so that you can also stop if needed.
  2. Try to overtake it so it will be behind you.
  3. Correct answer: Always keep sufficient distance from the vehicle in front .
  4. Stop immediately upon noticing the brake lights of the vehicle in front, regardless of your distance from him.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Always keep sufficient distance from the vehicle in front .

Keeping a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front gives you enough time to react and stop safely if it brakes suddenly. A simple check: when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point, count "twenty-one, twenty-two", and you should not reach that point before you finish counting. Overtaking suddenly or stopping abruptly regardless of distance can itself cause a crash.
