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: Tailgating is hazardous and illegal under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, making "Both B and C" the correct option. Following too closely significantly restricts your forward view of the road and drastically reduces your reaction time to stop safely if the lead vehicle brakes suddenly. While drafting technically reduces wind resistance, it does not safely save fuel, making that option incorrect. Selecting only one of the correct points is incomplete. The Official MTO Driver's Handbook emphasizes maintaining at least a two-second following distance under normal conditions. On the G1 exam, recognizing both the legal consequences and the physical safety requirements of driving is essential for answering following-distance questions correctly.
