When you are involved in an accident there is a certain distance you must maintain following the other vehicle. What is this distance?

2 feet
10 feet
100 feet
200 feet

The correct answer is: 200 feet

Following a safe distance is essential to avoid collisions and accidents on the road. While 2 feet and 10 feet may seem like an adequate distance, they are too close to the other vehicle, which can increase the chances of an accident. Additionally, 100 feet is also not enough distance as it may not provide enough time for you to brake or react quickly in case the other vehicle makes a sudden stop. 200 feet, on the other hand, is considered a standard safe distance to maintain while driving. This distance allows for enough space to safely stop or maneuver in case of any unexpected situations on the road.
