What is the goal of managing space on the road?

Being in control of the other cars' actions

Establishing and maintaining a safe space around your vehicle at all times

Being able to stop as fast as possible

Getting to your destination faster

The goal of managing space on the road is to establish and maintain a safe space around your vehicle at all times. Its main objective is to ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers, and other road users by creating a cushion of space that allows for appropriate maneuvering, reacting to unforeseen circumstances, and avoiding collisions. Managing space involves maintaining appropriate following distances, positioning your vehicle correctly within your lane, and anticipating potential hazards or conflict points on the road. While managing space can contribute to efficient and timely travel, the primary focus is on safety rather than getting to the destination faster.
