Arkansas Driving Permit Practice Test

When should more space be allowed in front of your vehicle?

1. When in an urban area

2. When following a motorcycle

3. When driving a compact car

4. When driving during daylight

The correct answer is: When in an urban area

More space should be allowed in front of your vehicle when driving in an urban area because urban areas typically have more traffic, pedestrians, intersections, and potential hazards that require additional stopping distance. By increasing the space in front of your vehicle, you give yourself more time to react to sudden stops or unexpected situations, helping to prevent rear-end collisions. It is important to maintain a safe following distance to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road.
