Ehr,

the law says the same here in Belgium and in Holland (I think) you are required to maintain enough distance from the car in front of you so you can stop in time whatever the reason be. And I too think it is a correct approach ... You should see how dangerously close some people here in Holland drive (it's bad in Belgium too in some places though imho Holland is a little worse even.) ... Then again, I can see why too, people here shift lanes often without even checking their rear view mirror for oncomming traffic ...

But we digress.

Cheers,
Hans
