Sharing the roadStandalone practice
In good conditions, what minimum following time does ICBC recommend behind a motorcycle?
A blue car A follows a helmeted motorcyclist B along one lane of a two-way road. Both travel east. No distance is marked.
Correct answer: At least three seconds
Why
Allow at least three seconds behind a motorcycle in good conditions. It may stop quickly, and a rider can skid or fall because of a road hazard. Increase the gap further when conditions reduce grip or visibility.
