How far back does your vehicle need to be from an emergency in pursuit?
You should be at least 500 feet away from an emergency in pursuit. This is because the unpredictable nature of police pursuits means that vehicles can swerve, slow down, or pull over at any moment. Staying 500 feet away gives you plenty of time to react to any sudden changes in direction or speed, and it also helps you to avoid becoming an obstruction to the police chase.
