Questions Learners Have About Stopping Distance Law

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Stopping Distance Law, including how questions match the official theory exam in Sweden, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is my primary legal responsibility regarding stopping distance in Sweden?

In Sweden, as a driver, you are legally obliged to maintain a speed and distance that allows you to stop your vehicle safely within the distance you can see and that is clear ahead of you. This is a fundamental duty of care.

How does insufficient stopping distance lead to liability after a rear-end collision?

If you collide with the vehicle in front of you, it is generally assumed that you failed to maintain a safe stopping distance or reacted appropriately. This often makes you legally responsible for the incident, regardless of why the vehicle in front stopped.

Are there specific rules for following distance in Sweden?

Yes, while a precise fixed distance isn't always mandated, rules like the '3-second rule' and estimating distance based on speed (e.g., 90 meters at 90 km/h) are widely recommended by Swedish authorities for maintaining a safe following distance, especially on rural roads.

What factors influence stopping distance and my responsibility?

Stopping distance is affected by your reaction time, vehicle speed, road conditions (e.g., wet, icy), tire quality, and brake condition. You are legally responsible for adjusting your driving to account for these factors and ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy.

Can I face penalties for not keeping a safe stopping distance?

Yes, failing to maintain a safe stopping distance, especially if it leads to a dangerous situation or collision, can result in fines, points on your license, or even more severe penalties depending on the gravity of the incident and any resulting harm.
