What makes driving in a stream of vehicles easier?

Your selected choices are correct.

Watching the queue through the windows of the vehicles in front helps you gauge the traffic flow and make safe driving decisions. This practice is essential for maintaining a safe distance and responding appropriately to changing traffic conditions.

Driving in a slightly staggered position in your lane provides better visibility and allows for a safer distance from vehicles on either side. It can also help reduce the risk of collisions in tight traffic situations and improves overall safety for all road users.

Both practices align with the German traffic regulations that emphasize maintaining a safe following distance and being aware of your surroundings, especially when driving in a dense stream of vehicles. Understanding and applying these tactics is vital for safe driving in heavy traffic conditions.
