What is a safe distance between vehicles when stopped on a hill at a traffic light?

to prevent a roll back collision.

you should be able to see their entire back wheels and a bit of road in front of you.

At least 2 meters from the bumper of the vehicle in front would be a safe distance. If the driver in the front vehicle happens to release the brake, it would still consume the one meter and another meter before roll back collision. But in the case of bigger trucks, keep a safer distance away, at least 5 to 6 meters to allow the truck driver see you when he releases the brakes. This is just being a defensive driver.

About half to one cars length. Even a learner in a manual should get control in that distance on a roll back.

this is just good judgement. I would assume a truck is a standard and give them more room than a car......

a couple of feet

i would give at least 10 feet. it's so annoying when people get right on your bumper and you have to drive up an incline from a stop and you're driving a stick shift.
