What spacing rule applies when a vehicle is following another truck or vehicle towing another vehicle?
- It must stay at least 300 feet back, with listed exceptions
- It may follow within 50 feet everywhere
- It must remain exactly one car length behind
- It must stay 1,000 feet back in every situation
Answer: It must stay at least 300 feet back, with listed exceptions. A truck or a vehicle towing another vehicle may not follow within 300 feet of another truck or vehicle in tow. The handbook gives exceptions for overtaking and passing and for travel within cities or towns, so the rule is not an absolute 300 foot separation in every setting. Fifty feet and one car length are too short for the stated special spacing rule. One thousand feet exaggerates it. Watch for the vehicle type ahead, maintain the required room, and do not use the rule as an excuse to pass unsafely.
