Drivers, especially in big cities, are constantly in a hurry, "pre-loading" the front running cars. And when someone gets in an accident, he realizes that to avoid this situation, it would be enough, only a few centimetres would do well not to forget what a safe distance between the cars in traffic.

The Main thing - to observe the speed limit

To avoid accidentally in an accident due to the fact that there was a violation, the allowable distance between vehicles, traffic regulations clearly limit the maximum speed of movement in different zones.

For Example, in all courts and places, which are subject to mark 5.21 "Residential zone" set maximum speed limit of 20 kilometers per hour.

On urban roads the maximum speed set by default, but in some areas it is even lower. The inspectors note that if all drivers obeyed the speed limit in the city, the accidents would have been twice less.

the Distance between cars in traffic

Also, the driver must not intentionally choose too low a speed, and braking sharply. If this is not observed, inspectors may regard these actions for the intentional creation of interference to other moving vehicles.

The Requested distance and the braking distance

Ideally the distance between the cars in traffic is equal to the speed of the car divided by two. For example, if the driver is moving fast (100 km/h), the distance between the front of the car must be at least 50 meters. Also for example option when the distance between cars is equal to the speed of movement of the vehicle.

Time to stop depending on the road surface

After Examining the safe brake let the vehicle on a particular surface can be understood that the safety distance between cars in traffic when stopping is necessary. However, not all drivers, especially beginners, will be able to calculate the correct distance to the vehicle ahead to protect themselves and other vehicles.

traffic distance between vehicles when driving

It is considered that on a dry road or on the pavement after rain safe distance between the vehicles in traffic must be at least 2 seconds. If the asphalt is dirty and it has a lot of clay or dust, the distance should be within 3 seconds. If snow is rolled, the distance in 3 seconds, however experienced drivers are advised beginners to withstand a greater distance. When was the snow rain and all precipitation during the night is frozen, the safest distance will be the distance of at least 5 seconds.

All drivers should remember that if necessary, the distance between the vehicle it is necessary to increase and to be careful. This is especially important if the tires on the car don't match the season.

Tips from experts

Of Course, to determine the exact safe distance, not even traffic. The distance between the cars when traffic must be continuously monitored by the driver. However, the inspector of traffic police give some tips to beginners to best protect them from a possible collision.

Safe distance between cars SDA

  1. If the vehicle moves in areas with limited visibility, in this case, the distance should be increased at least twice put. It was then that the driver will feel as safely as possible, even if ahead of moving the machine emergency stop.
  2. If the driver moves the loaded vehicle, then the distance should be increased by 1.5 times, as a stopping distance of the car due to the weight increase.
  3. Before turning in no event it is impossible to brake sharply. To drop the speed to smoothly, and making sure that those machines that go back, are at a safe distance.

Selecting - effective distance

Effective distance is the same safe distance between the cars. Traffic rules stipulate that the effective distance should be increased if:

  • Driving is the driver, recently graduated from a driving school;
  • While driving on the highway gradually began to deteriorate the quality of the roadcoverage;
  • Originally it was going to rain, and then it changed to snow;
  • Overview of the road has become worse or the same on the surface there were obstacles;
  • The driver was attached to the end of the motorcade, and its length exceeds 5 TS;
  • The driver increases the speed - in this case, it is better to readjust to the free lane.

the Distance between cars in traffic when you stop

The driver needs to remember another rule that if he's going for a car that size and even more by mass is less than its TC, in this case of a car you must stay away. The lighter the car the less it will have a stopping distance, and the following vehicle may not stop in time.

Examples

There are several examples that demonstrate to drivers how important distance between the cars in traffic. The examples describe the most common causes of collisions.

Example 1

The Driver, moving behind decided to overtake. TC-"leader" decided to turn left. Skidding to a halt, the driver showed the left turn signal and the car that was behind, not had time to react to the situation. The collision happened.

Example 2

The Driver of "Lada" decided to turn left. Behind him moved the bus, which is not tailgating. As the bus is heavier than "Zhiguli", then the collision occurred.

Example 3

On the highway driving the vehicle "the Zhiguli". The driver saw the hole and skidded to a halt, and behind him rode two more trucks. The drivers of heavy vehicles time has not calculated a safe distance and are unable to react quickly to braking "Lada". In the end, an accident with three affected vehicles.

the Allowable distance between vehicles traffic

In fact, such examples are many, and all of these situations could have been prevented if all drivers would be careful while driving and tailgating.
