When following a motorcycle, the Texas handbook says to allow:
- A.4 to 6 seconds of following distance
- B.The same gap as for a large truck
- C.No extra space because motorcycles are small
- D.Less than 1 second so you can see around it
Correct answer
A. 4 to 6 seconds of following distance
Why
Texas advises allowing 4 to 6 seconds when following a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop quickly and their riders are more vulnerable if you follow too closely.
