We are driving our motorcycle on a road with two lanes for each direction behind another vehicle but with no intention of overtaking it. What separation should we leave between both?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Every driver must maintain a frontal safety distance that allows them to stop without colliding in the event of sudden braking. Generally, if you do not wish to overtake, extra space must be left so others can overtake us. However, this extra space rule does not apply if the road has more than one lane for our direction. In this case, it is enough to maintain the basic safety distance to avoid rear-end collisions.
