gravel travels fairly far when the vehicles are going 50 mph
Vehicles also skid very far at that speed.
Your safe following distance on gravel at 50mph is more than that. 3 seconds is your minimum following distances on normal surfaces (used to be 2, advice has changed), you should have a 4 second following distance on gravel. https://www.drive-safely.net/safe-following-distance/
If you're going 50mph on a gravel road, you are fucking up.
if the government doesn't want me going 50 they wouldn't have set the speed limit to 45
