Explanation
Motorcycles are more vulnerable than other vehicles on the road. If they fall, the rider is exposed and could be seriously injured. Therefore, you need to keep a greater distance when following a motorcycle to have enough time to react in case of sudden stops or falls. Wet or icy roads, gravel roads or metal surfaces such as bridges, gratings or railroad tracks increase the chances of a fall. Thus, it is important to maintain extra space when following a motorcycle, especially in these conditions.
