If we ride in a group with other motorcycle riders, what safety distance should we maintain with the motorcycle in front of us if we do not intend to overtake?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When driving behind another vehicle, we must leave a sufficient distance that allows us to stop in case of sudden braking without colliding. This separation is known as the safety distance. Furthermore, on interurban roads with a single lane per direction, if we do not intend to overtake, we must leave enough space so that the vehicle following us can overtake safely. This rule does not apply in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, or when there is more than one lane in our direction.
