Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
You drive on a street with two lanes in your direction. A motorcycle ahead of you rides near the left side of the right lane, and there is empty space on its right. How much of the lane may the motorcycle use?
A motorcycle B rides near the left side of its highway lane. Blue A follows and wants to pass, with space visible to B’s right.
Correct answer: The full lane, so you pass it by moving to the other lane, as you would for a car.
Why
Motorcycles are small, so they can seem farther away than they are, and their speed is hard to judge. Strong wind or a rough road can push a rider out of position, so the rider needs the whole lane as a margin. Two motorcycles may ride side by side in one lane only when both riders agree.
