The distance between the moving columns of agricultural tractors cannot be shorter than:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. 200 meters.
Explanation
This question is about the minimum distance between moving columns of agricultural tractors. This distance must not be less than 200 m - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act specifies that the distance between moving columns must not be less than 500 m for columns of motor vehicles and 200 m for columns of other vehicles. By definition, an agricultural tractor is not a motor vehicle, so 200 m applies to columns of tractors. The gap between columns allows other drivers to overtake a column safely in stages and return to their lane. Distances of 50 m (answer A) and 100 m (answer B) are too small. Also note: no more than 5 vehicles may travel in a column of tractors, because they belong to the "other vehicles", and driving in a column does not release you from following the other rules.
Legal basis: Art. 32 para. 1 point 3, para. 2 and 4 and Art. 2 point 33 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
