  2. Two secondsCevap
  3. C
    Four seconds
  4. D
    Ten seconds

Cevap

Two seconds
In good, dry conditions, drivers should maintain a gap of at least two seconds between their vehicle and the vehicle ahead. This rule of thumb provides a safe buffer that automatically scales with vehicle speed, allowing adequate time to react and stop safely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the environmental road surface condition stated in the question.
The driving conditions are specified as normal and dry.
Separation distance rules are directly determined by road surface and weather conditions.
2
Apply the relevant Highway Code time-gap rule for dry surfaces.
The baseline separation rule is the two-second rule.
A two-second buffer provides sufficient thinking and braking time to stop safely in an emergency on a dry road.
