On rural highways, what is the minimum distance that truck drivers must not follow one another, except to pass?

200 feet
300 feet
400 feet
500 feet

The correct answer is: 400 feet

Truck drivers on rural highways are required to maintain a minimum distance of 400 feet from one another, except when overtaking another vehicle. This regulation is in place to ensure safe driving practices, as maintaining this distance allows for adequate space to react in case of sudden stops or emergencies. Trucks are large and heavy, requiring longer stopping distances than smaller vehicles. By adhering to this distance rule, truck drivers can help prevent collisions and provide a buffer zone that enhances safety on highways where visibility might be limited and traffic can be unpredictable. Following this guideline is also crucial because it promotes safer conditions not only for the truck drivers themselves but for all road users, including cars and other vehicles that share the highway.
