Question 1474

If you ride a motorcycle in an urban area, what lateral distance must you maintain from other vehicles?

  1. A distance proportional to the speed and to the width and characteristics of the roadway.
  2. A gap of at least 1.5 meters.
  3. Lateral distance does not matter in an urban area.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A distance proportional to the speed and to the width and characteristics of the roadway.

In urban areas, lateral clearance must allow safe travel. It is adjusted to the speed and the roadway's width and characteristics, rather than being a fixed distance.
