Your are driving a coach at a speed in excess of 50 km/h on the motorway. Why do you have to maintain a minimum distance of 50 m to the vehicle ahead?

You answered correctly. On the motorway, coaches and larger vehicles traveling faster than 50 km/h must keep at least 50 meters distance from the vehicle in front. This rule exists because a greater distance reduces the risk of rear-end collisions and gives you more time to react to sudden stops or hazards. The rule helps ensure safety for all road users, not to make you reach your destination more quickly. Remember to always judge and maintain safe following distances, especially when driving larger vehicles at higher speeds.
