What is the minimum following distance you should maintain behind a motorcycle?

  1. 1 car length.

  2. 2 seconds.

  3. 3 seconds.

  4. 4 car lengths.

The correct answer is: 3 seconds.

When following a motorcycle, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of 3 seconds in order to ensure safety for both the motorcycle rider and yourself. This allows enough time for you to react to any sudden changes in the motorcycle's speed or direction. Options A and D are incorrect because using car lengths as a unit of measurement does not account for varying speeds and can be too close or too far for safe following distance. Option B is incorrect because it does not take into consideration the shorter stopping distance of motorcycles compared to cars, resulting in potential rear-end collisions. Therefore, the best answer is C 3 seconds.
