Question juridique clé
Whether X.________ violated the rule requiring a sufficient distance to the preceding vehicle under traffic law.
Solution extraite
Yes. He followed the vehicle at about 15–20 m when a safe distance was over 44 m, so the offense was complete.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the relevant conduct was not an attempted overtake, but following too closely without enough stopping distance. Under Art. 34(4) LCR and Art. 12(1) OCR, the offense under Art. 90(1) LCR is a formal abstract danger offense and does not require concrete accident causation.
