Question: Tailgating is dangerous because:
Answer options:
- It saves fuel
- It reduces your reaction time and view of the road
- It is illegal ✅ Both B and C
Correct answer: Both B and C
Explanation: Following too closely is dangerous because it severely restricts your view of the road ahead and drastically cuts the time available to react if the vehicle in front stops suddenly. Additionally, the BC Motor Vehicle Act prohibits tailgating, making it an illegal driving behavior. While individual options regarding reduced reaction time and illegality are true, choosing only one of them is incomplete, and tailgating does not safely save fuel. ICBC rules emphasize keeping a safe following distance of at least two seconds in ideal conditions. Recognizing these physical hazards and legal consequences is essential for passing the Class 7 knowledge test and maintaining safe space cushions.
