Yes, absolutely, always give the vehicle ahead of you room to maneuver especially a motorcycle. Your car or truck has no problem running over a motorcycle and its riders.
Under normal conditions a safe following distance between your car and a motorcycle should be?
Following distance should be increased (more distance) when behind a motorcycle because (1) the MC can stop faster than a car, and (2) it could go down for many reasons. Greater distance decreases the likelihood of running over the MC.
Keep a greater than normal following distance since motorcycles can stop faster than a car
Decrease
Increase your following distance. It will take you longer to stop. Slowing down is also a really good idea.
slow down and increase following distance
Slow down; increase following distance
slow down, increase following distance
Yes, where it is windy and or the road is wet or your vision is limited by weather, you will take longer to stop your vehicle. To allow for this you should increase your distance from the vehicle ahead of you AND drive more slowly.
Since it takes further to stop on a wet roadway you should slow down and increase your following distance
What is following distance? Following distance is the space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you while driving. It's important for all drivers to maintain a safe following distance, so that they have time to safely stop in case the vehicle in front of them brakes abruptly.
When driving, you should always measure your following distance in seconds. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a following distance of at least 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This distance allows you enough time to react and brake safely in case of an emergency.
