Should you keep a safe distance of at least 1 metre from the vehicle ahead when you intend to overtake it?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
The requirement to keep a distance of at least 1 metre when overtaking applies to a bicycle, bicycle cart, moped, motorcycle or a column of pedestrians. When overtaking another motor vehicle, such as the van seen in the video, the driver is required to keep a safe, but unspecified, distance from the vehicle being overtaken.
