Explanation
Keeping a safe following distance will enable you to react to a problem ahead. If you are following too closely and the vehicle ahead of you stops or slows suddenly, you will not be able to avoid a crash. Always increase your following distance when stopped behind another vehicle on a hill or incline. The vehicle ahead may roll back before moving forward.
