Question 6182

If you carry a passenger on the motorcycle, you have to keep in mind that...

  1. the braking distance decreases.
  2. the braking distance increases.
  3. riding must be faster.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the braking distance increases.

With a passenger, the motorcycle weighs more and needs more meters to stop, so the braking distance increases. Leave more space ahead and start braking earlier. The extra weight also reduces acceleration and makes the motorcycle harder to lean, so you should not ride faster.
