Explanation
Motorcycles require a greater following distance compared to cars for several reasons. Firstly, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars, especially in dry conditions.

Additionally, a motorcyclist's maneuvering ability in emergencies can be critical, and giving them sufficient space allows them to react safely.
