Which of the values below should you take into account when establishing the distance between the vehicle in front?

Description
Art. 19 para. 1 and 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - The Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: The speed of the vehicles.
The main factor to consider when establishing a safe distance from the preceding vehicle is the driving speed. The higher the speed, the longer the braking distance, so a greater distance is needed to have time to react and avoid a collision. According to Art. 19 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, the driver is obliged to maintain the distance necessary to avoid a collision in the event of the preceding vehicle braking.
