Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You are driving behind a motorcycle on a two-lane road. How should your following distance compare with your distance behind a car?
Blue A follows motorcycle B in the right lane on a dry two-lane road. No following interval, selected gap or route is marked.
Correct answer: It should be longer, because a motorcycle can usually stop faster than your car.
Why
Motorcycles are small, hard to see, and can often slow or stop much faster than a car. Keep at least a three-to-four-second following distance, and add more time at night and in bad weather. The rider may also move around in the lane to avoid hazards, so never share the lane; when you pass, use the whole other lane.
