On a dry day, you are following a motorcycle toward a long bridge with a metal grate deck. How much following distance should you keep?
A follows a motorcycle toward a bridge with a metal-grate deck. A fixed roadside marker sits beside the approach.
Correct answer: About 4 seconds or more, in case the motorcycle falls
Why
The manual's basic following rule is 3 seconds, but some situations call for about 4, and following a motorcycle is one of them. A rider is more likely to fall on wet or icy roads, gravel, and metal surfaces such as bridge decks, grates, and railroad tracks. The extra space gives you time to stop or steer around a fallen rider instead of hitting the rider.
