What effect does keeping distance have on the driver’s field of vision?
- Keeping distance has no connection to the driver’s field of vision.
- Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision while driving in high speeds and during stormy weather conditions only.
- Correct answer: The greater is the distance we keep from the vehicle in front, the better is our field of vision.
- Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision during traffic congestion only (“traffic jams”).
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The greater is the distance we keep from the vehicle in front, the better is our field of vision.
When you drive close behind another vehicle, it blocks most of the road ahead and hides what is happening in front of it. The more distance you keep, the wider your view becomes: you see more of the road, the signs and the traffic beyond that vehicle. This lets you spot hazards earlier, and it applies in all conditions, not only in traffic jams or bad weather.
