Ultimate braking distance is similar for a car and motorcycle, but it requires a lot of skill to do it on a motorcycle. Comparing an average motorcycle to an average car driver, the car will stop faster. (whoever said that braking on a motorbike is an idiot i have a motor bike and am very good on it and ever since i got my bike i have been able to break its simple!!! just like on a normal bike)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under normal conditions a safe following distance between your car and a motorcycle should be?

What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
What is the relationship between a car's mass and its stopping distance?
The greater the mass of the car and its occupants the longer the stopping distance that is required for the vehicle. Stopping distance is calculated by taking into account car mass and reaction time in braking
Can a motorcycle stop quicker than a car?
Yes, they have larger braking surface/weight of vehicle, than a car.
Why is the braking distance longer when the car is travelling at a higher speed?
Inertia.
What is braking distance composed of?
Braking distance is usually measured by how fast you can stop at 60mph, 60-0, the make of a car is the factor of the stopping distance, each car varies. Your car can have disc brakes or drum brakes or both. Disc brakes are more effective than drum brakes. But braking distance is usually showed by how many feet it takes to stop from 60mph
How are thinking distance and braking distance linked?
When you will observe the road far ahead of the front end of your car and keep proper distance between other cars, then you will have enough time for thinking and enough space for braking. But when intense situation happens, then the thinking and braking are solidified in one desperate move: to avoid a collision.
A study was done to find if the different tire treads affect the braking distance of a car what is the independent variable?
The type of tread is the independent variable and the braking distance is the dependent variable.
What effects the distance a car takes to stop?
The speed; the quality of the braking system; the mass of the car; the time it takes the driver to notice a danger. The speed is especially important; other things being equal, braking distance is proportional to the square of the distance. That means that at twice the speed, the car will move 4 times as far while it brakes.
How much distance between a car following a motorcycle?
Allow more following distance than you would behind another car - three to four seconds - when following a motorcycle to allow the rider enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.
How do you calculate brake efficiency of a car?
estimates the distance a car travel at 100 km/h during your reaction time in braking
What is the rule of thumb on car braking distance?
The general rule of thumb is that you should be able to see the tires of the car in front of you touching the pavement.
