Speed, distance & stopping distance

Near Zevenhuizen an instructor explains: 'Most rear-end collisions on motorways happen because of following too closely, combined with distraction or fatigue — not because of broken brakes.'

Correct answer

True

Explanation

False — trap: looking for the cause in the vehicle. The book names driving behaviour (tight distance + distraction/fatigue) as THE cause, not technology (Book p.124).
