Speed Limits & Following Distance

You are following a motorcycle on a wet road. Why give it more space than you would a car?

  • A.Motorcycles are legally entitled to two lanes
  • B.Motorcyclists cannot use their brakes in rain
  • C.To make it easier for other cars to pass you
  • D.Motorcycles are less stable on wet surfaces and can stop or lose traction more suddenly, so extra room protects both of you
Correct answer

D. Motorcycles are less stable on wet surfaces and can stop or lose traction more suddenly, so extra room protects both of you

Why

Riders face greater risks from slick pavement, puddles, and painted markings. A larger cushion gives you time to react if the motorcycle slows or wobbles unexpectedly.
