Question 4406
Is maintaining a safe following distance a valid recommendation for avoiding accidents with motorcycles?
- No, because the following distance does not affect motorcycle accidents.
- It is only recommended to maintain a safe following distance on urban roads.
- Yes, because rear-end collisions can be avoided.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because rear-end collisions can be avoided.
Yes. If you leave enough space behind a motorcycle, you can stop without rear-ending it even if it brakes suddenly. That safe following distance is required on every road, not just in the city.
