This paper presents considerations for maintaining the necessary distance behind the preceding vehicle in traffic. The special case of the need to exit a motorway from the left-hand lane when there is heavy traffic is analyzed and evaluated. The legislation uniquely does not address such a case. In addition, the special case of entering a motorway has been analyzed and evaluated. When operating vehicles on the roads, we are exposed to non-compliance with the rules and the resulting offences and accidents. The human factor and unreasonable and “out of life” rules contribute enormously to their occurrence. These are from the area of the active safety system in the operation of vehicles on the road. The conclusions point to the need to change the provisions in the current road traffic law and to provide training for car drivers.
