Explanation
You should always allow extra following distance when driving behind large vehicles, as they have bigger blind spots and may not see you if you’re following too closely. Increase your following distance behind motorcycles as well-especially in rain or on slick roads - because they can’t always stop quickly, and the extra space gives both you and the motorcyclist time to react safely. Finally, leave additional space when following emergency vehicles such as police cars, ambulances, or fire trucks. These vehicles may stop or maneuver suddenly, and giving them room helps keep everyone safe.
