Manitoba Class 3 Drivers Licence Practice Test

What is the minimum following distance for commercial vehicles and vehicles towing trailers outside business or residential districts?

1. 30 metres

2. 45 metres

3. 60 metres

4. 75 metres

The correct answer is: 60 metres

The minimum following distance for commercial vehicles and vehicles towing trailers outside business or residential districts is 60 metres. This distance allows for enough space and time for the larger vehicles to brake or make sudden maneuvers without risking rear-ending the vehicle in front. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not provide enough distance for safe and defensive driving practices. Option A is half the recommended distance, Option B is three-quarters of the recommended distance, and Option D is more than the recommended distance. It is important for drivers to maintain an appropriate following distance to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.
