If you are towing a camper or trailer, what is the recommended minimum following distance from other vehicles?

300 feet
400 feet
500 feet
600 feet

The correct answer is: 500 feet

The recommended minimum following distance when towing a camper or trailer is 500 feet. This distance is crucial for several reasons. First, larger vehicles like campers and trailers take longer to stop due to their increased weight and size. Maintaining a larger following distance allows for a more gradual response if the vehicle in front of you suddenly brakes or encounters an unexpected obstacle, giving you ample time to react safely. Additionally, a longer following distance provides better visibility of the road ahead. It allows you to see around the vehicle in front of you and anticipate potential hazards, such as merging traffic or signal changes. This visibility is particularly important when towing, as it can be challenging to maneuver such loads. Using 500 feet as a standard ensures safety for all road users and aligns with best practices for safe towing, reducing the risk of collisions and ensuring a more stable driving experience.
