Explanation
Motorcycles are smaller and more vulnerable than other vehicles on the road. Always pay special attention to motorcycles and give them the same respect and attention as any other vehicle. By leaving a 4-second following distance, you provide enough time for the motorcyclist to react to any unexpected situations. It's important to increase your following distance even more in bad road or weather conditions to ensure the safety of the motorcyclist and yourself.
