Article 26Maintaining Distance between Vehicles

第二十六条(車間距離の保持)

When proceeding down the road in a vehicle or streetcar immediately behind another vehicle or streetcar on the same course, the driver must maintain the distance that would be necessary to allow the driver to avoid a collision even if the vehicle or streetcar traveling immediately in front of it were to stop suddenly.

車両等は、同一の進路を進行している他の車両等の直後を進行するときは、その直前の車両等が急に停止したときにおいてもこれに追突するのを避けることができるため必要な距離を、これから保たなければならない。
