Is tailgating allowed on a motorway or dual carriageway?
  • Yes, because all traffic moves in the one direction at the same time.
  • No, because the vehicle in front may stop suddenly.
  • No, because other vehicles do not have room to overtake.
  • Yes, because there is oncoming traffic.

Explantion: If you drive too close to the vehicle in front and it brakes suddenly, you will not have enough time to react. For that reason you should always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. One way of calculating a safe distance in dry weather is the two-second rule: Allow at least two seconds to elapse between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle passing a fixed point such as a lamp post or sign post.
