You are driving on a motorway at 60 km/h in a truck with a 4 t gross vehicle weight rating. What distance must you maintain to the vehicle ahead?

For trucks over 3.5 tons on German motorways, the law requires keeping a minimum distance of 50 meters to the vehicle in front when driving faster than 50 km/h. This rule ensures enough stopping distance in case of sudden braking, reducing the risk of accidents. Since your truck is 4 tons and traveling at 60 km/h, you must keep at least 50 meters behind the vehicle ahead. You selected the correct answer. Remember this rule applies to all trucks over 3.5 tons on autobahns at these speeds.
