When following a motorcycle, what is a safe practice?

When following a motorcycle, allowing more distance than when following a car is a safe practice due to the differences in stability and visibility between motorcycles and larger vehicles. Motorcycles can brake more quickly and may be less visible to other drivers, especially in adverse weather conditions or among traffic. By increasing the following distance, drivers give themselves additional time to react in case the motorcycle needs to stop suddenly or if it encounters any hazards on the road. This greater distance also accounts for potential swaying and maneuvering that motorcycles may do, as they are more susceptible to being affected by wind, debris, or road irregularities. Maintaining this safe distance helps prevent accidents and ensures that drivers are prepared to respond effectively to any situation that may arise with the motorcycle.
