What distance should you keep from a vehicle in front of you if you ride a moped in a built-up area?

In accordance with the general rule of the Road Traffic Act, the driver of any vehicle, including a moped, is required to maintain the distance necessary to avoid a collision in the event of the preceding vehicle braking or stopping. The regulations do not specify a specific distance in metres in this situation, as a safe distance is variable and depends on speed, road conditions, and the condition of the road surface.
