How many seconds should you give a motorcycle when following them?

When following a motorcycle, it's recommended to maintain a distance of at least 3 to 4 seconds. This allows for adequate reaction time in case the motorcycle needs to stop or make sudden maneuvers. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars, so this buffer helps ensure safety for both the rider and the driver. Always adjust your following distance based on road conditions and visibility.

How many seconds of following distance should you use when it's raining?

When driving in the rain, it's recommended to increase your following distance to at least four seconds. This extra space allows for more time to react to sudden stops or emergencies, as wet roads can reduce traction and increase stopping distance. Always adjust your following distance further if conditions worsen, such as heavy rain or reduced visibility.
