Safe stop when driving at a speed of 120 km/h is possible if the object distance is not less than 150 meters. These numbers are relevant for roads with one or two lanes, where few opportunities for manoeuvres. Driving on wet roads, increase the distance by a third.

When driving on three-lane road, consider not only the distance to the vehicle ahead, but the position of the machine in the stream.
