Best Answer

You must keep a distance that will allow you to come to a complete stop without hitting the vehicle in front. This distance will change depending on your speed, the stopping abilities of your vehicle and the road condition.

The Highway Code lists the following typical stopping distances:

  • 20mph = 12 Metres or 3 car lengths
  • 30mph = 23 Metres or 6 car lengths
  • 40mph = 36 Metres or 9 car lengths
  • 50mph = 53 Metres or 13 car lengths
  • 60mph = 73 Metres or 18 car lengths
  • 70mph = 96 Metres or 24 car lengths
