You are driving in a combination vehicle outside of a built-up area on a road with only one lane in each direction. What distance must you usually maintain to the vehicle ahead?

When driving a combination vehicle (such as a truck with a trailer) outside built-up areas on single-lane roads, you must keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. This distance should be large enough to allow an overtaking vehicle to return safely into the lane in front of you after passing. This rule ensures smooth traffic flow and safety for all road users. The exact distance is not fixed by meters but depends on the situation, so maintaining enough space for overtaking vehicles is key. Options that limit the distance too strictly or require space for multiple overtaking vehicles are not part of the standard rule.
