Questions Learners Have About Safe Following Distance

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Safe Following Distance, including how questions match the official theory exam in Denmark, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the general rule for safe following distance in Denmark?

In Denmark, a general rule of thumb for safe following distance in normal conditions is to maintain a 2-second gap to the vehicle in front. This time-based distance allows for sufficient reaction and braking time.

How does speed affect the safe following distance?

As your speed increases, the distance you travel during your reaction time and braking time also increases significantly. Therefore, a larger following distance in metres is required at higher speeds, such as on motorways.

Should I increase my following distance on wet roads?

Yes, absolutely. Wet roads drastically reduce tire grip, increasing your braking distance. You should significantly increase your following distance, often doubling it, to maintain safety and prevent skidding or collisions.

What is the "half-speed-in-metres" rule?

The "half-speed-in-metres" rule is a common guideline that suggests you should keep a following distance roughly equal to half your speed in kilometers per hour, expressed in metres. For example, at 80 km/h, aim for approximately 40 metres.

Why is tailgating dangerous?

Tailgating, or following too closely, is extremely dangerous because it drastically reduces the time and distance available for you to react and brake safely if the vehicle in front stops suddenly. This significantly increases the risk of a rear-end collision.
