Questão jurídica principal
Whether the driver's conduct constituted a serious traffic violation under Art. 16c SVG rather than a medium violation.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The deliberately and significantly insufficient safety distance created an increased abstract danger and reflected reckless conduct.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that a 0.57-second gap on an expressway was a substantial undercutting of the minimum distance. The claimed pressure from the vehicle behind and alleged time pressure did not mitigate the conduct, since no urgent protection of higher-value interests was involved.
