Under what condition should you extend the gap between your vehicle and the one in front?
When another driver is following too closely, known as tailgating, it's wise to provide additional space in front of your vehicle. This strategy prevents quick braking, which could lead to a rear-end collision. Allowing more room ahead creates a buffer to react smoothly, reducing the likelihood of an accident with the tailgater.
