You are driving a car with a caravan in tow. What is true regarding your distance to the vehicle ahead?

- is appropriate because the overtaking vehicle can pull back into lane in front of me

- to the overtaking vehicle must be re-established once it has pulled back into lane

- is too large because it exceeds the length of my combination vehicle many times over

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

When driving a car with a caravan in tow, maintaining an appropriate distance from the vehicle ahead is essential for safety and compliance with German traffic regulations.

1. If an overtaking vehicle returns to your lane, ensuring you have enough space allows it to merge safely. This is why maintaining a proper distance is necessary.

2. Once the overtaking vehicle has successfully pulled back in front of you, re-establishing a safe distance is crucial to ensure that you have adequate stopping space and time to react to any sudden changes in traffic.

The third option, suggesting that the distance is too large, is incorrect because it does not account for the safety measures necessary when towing. Following the first two principles reinforces the importance of safe driving behavior, particularly when managing the extra length and weight of a caravan.
