Lane Position, Following & Intersections

Motorcyclists riding together in a group should normally use:

  • A.A single-file line spread over a full mile
  • B.Side-by-side riding in every lane position at once
  • C.A random formation chosen by each rider
  • D.A staggered formation, which keeps the group close while giving each rider a space cushion
Correct answer

D. A staggered formation, which keeps the group close while giving each rider a space cushion

Why

In a staggered formation, riders alternate left and right lane portions so each rider has room ahead and to the side. It keeps the group compact without crowding any one rider.
