True.

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. Secondly, motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars, so allowing more distance helps drivers maintain awareness and avoid collisions. Additionally, a motorcyclist's maneuvering ability in emergencies can be critical, and giving them sufficient space allows them to react safely.
