Abstract
Summary When using vehicles on the road, road users are exposed to accidents. The human factor contributes greatly to their occurrence. The article presents pilot studies on the state of knowledge of drivers referring to maintaining the necessary distance behind the preceding vehicle in road traffic. The state of knowledge governing applicable law in the field of distance between vehicles was also examined. They were carried out by a group of employees using road transport and students. Even with the new technical devices which determine distance, in addition to the lack of knowledge of drivers in the discussed area, dangers of hitting a preceding vehicle in extreme situations still exist. These are activities in the area of the active safety system in the operation of vehicles in road traffic. The conclusions indicate the need to conduct management training and to amend the provisions in the applicable road traffic law.

Summary
The extraordinary ease of crossing national borders means that in the European Union (EU) there is a large proportion of foreigners on the roads. The car collision on a preceding vehicle, moving in a stream of vehicles, according to police statistics is a common cause of collisions and accidents What impact does it have: maintaining the right distance, knowledge of the drivers, what has been written in road traffic regulations, and what is the practice of road users? The aim of the research is to obtain information on the knowledge of drivers (on a selected topic of the applicable law) in the distance between vehicles in road traffic. The proposed pilot study aimed at assessing the importance of the problem and possibly justifying the need for further in-depth research They would constitute the basis for requesting a change in the law in order to reduce the hazards caused by vehicles. There were no analyzes assessing existing provisions regarding the distance between vehicles and indicating the need for changes
