Drivers Face Up to SAR 300 Fine for Unsafe Following Distance
Drivers are required to leave adequate space between vehicles to reduce collisions caused by sudden stops or loss of control.
Drivers who fail to maintain a safe distance between vehicles can face a fine of up to SAR 300 under Saudi traffic regulations.
Saudi Public Security said adequate spacing between vehicles is a basic road-safety requirement, particularly in situations involving sudden braking, abrupt changes in traffic flow or loss of vehicle control.
The measure is intended to reduce collisions that occur when drivers do not leave enough time or space to react to unexpected conditions ahead.
Public Security said compliance with safe-distance requirements protects both drivers and other road users, while also helping reduce preventable accidents.
Relevant authorities will continue applying penalties against violations as part of wider enforcement efforts targeting behaviours that pose risks to public safety.
