Traffic awareness is extremely important and it goes further than just following the rules. Traffic awareness mainly includes anticipating the environment
When the traffic light turns green, this means you may start driving. There's a good chance you'll do this too, often without paying further attention. Only "green is right of way" is a big misconception in traffic.
In this blog I'm going to explain three theory exam questions to you. You can get these on your theory exam. They're also handy to know for when you have your license. They all have to do with keeping distance from other vehicles. You're definitely going to need them when driving. So let's start with question one.
1. How many meters distance must you keep from other vehicles when parking?
The correct answer is 1 meter in front of the car and 1 meter behind the car. This is also handy for when you or the other cars want to leave. Now this is how it is in theory. In practice, you're sometimes already happy that you've found a parking spot. Especially in the city, parking spaces will be a bit tighter. You'll already be happy if you've found a spot where your car just fits.
2. How much distance must you keep from the car in front of you at a red traffic light?
If you stop behind another vehicle at the red traffic light. You should still be able to see where the rear tires of the vehicle in front of you touch the ground. If you can still see the rear tires. Then you have an escape route. Because suppose the car in front of you breaks down. Then you can still leave via left or right. Stopping too far is not handy because then the line of cars at the traffic light becomes too long. So vehicle in front of you stopped? Always try to stop so that you still see the rear tires.
3. You're driving a motor vehicle. How many meters following distance must you keep for safety?
A good following distance is half your speed.
So suppose you're driving 100 km/h. Then a good following distance is 50 meters.
One more. You're driving 40 km/h. What is a good following distance? Well half = 20 meters distance you should then keep.
Keeping distance while driving is important. Suppose the car in front of you suddenly has to brake hard, then you also have to brake hard. Driving too close? Then it can happen that you crash into it. The one who hits a car from behind is always at fault. So keep sufficient distance. Then you'll be able to stop in time. The following distance is always half your speed.
