Sharing the roadQuestion 177 of 296

You see a motorcycle ahead of you. What is a good habit?

  1. Share the lane, because the motorcycle is narrow
  2. Drive close behind, so that the rider sees you
  3. Pass it on the right, because it is slow
  4. Leave extra space, so that you both have room to react to quick stops and hazards
Show answer

Correct answer: Leave extra space, so that you both have room to react to quick stops and hazards

A motorcycle rider has the right to a full lane. Give more space so that both of you have time to react.
