Explanation
As a driver, it's important to maintain a safe following distance, especially when following large vehicles like tour buses. These vehicles can obstruct your view of the road ahead, making it difficult to see any potential hazards or obstacles. Allowing extra space between your vehicle and the bus gives you a better view of the road and any potential hazards ahead. Additionally, large vehicles have large blind spots on both sides, so staying too close to them can make it difficult for the driver to see you.
