What formation should a group of riders normally use on an open road?
- A.Side by side, two riders in every position
- B.A single tight cluster with no spacing
- C.A staggered formation, with riders offset in the lane
- D.Riders spread across two full lanes
Correct answer
C. A staggered formation, with riders offset in the lane
Why
A staggered formation gives each rider a clear view ahead and room to maneuver while keeping the group compact. Riding directly side by side removes that safety space.
