What distance should you keep from the preceding vehicle on the road once you go past this sign and if you drive a bus whose length is over 7 m?

Explanation

Correct answer: A distance allowing the vehicles overtaking to safely go in front of the bus.

The D-43 'End of built-up area' sign indicates entry onto a road on which different traffic rules apply. Outside a built-up area, the driver of a vehicle exceeding 7 metres in length is required to maintain a distance from the preceding vehicle that allows an overtaking vehicle to safely enter the gap.
