20 / 22
If another vehicle is following too closely, what should a motorcyclist do?
Widening the gap between the motorcycle and the vehicle ahead provides more reaction time for both the motorcyclist and the vehicle behind, and reduces the danger of a multi-vehicle pileup. It is advisable to shift lanes when possible and let the vehicle behind pass.
21 / 22
What is the significance of the lane or blocking position and which is the best position to maintain when driving a motorcycle?
Safety on the road is guaranteed by visibility. In order to be clearly visible to all vehicles on the road, motorcyclists need to maintain appropriate lane positions. The correct lane position depends on the situation - at times the left tire track is in the correct position, while at other times, the right tire track is in the correct position. Choose a lane position according to the current state of the traffic so that everyone on the road can see you properly and so that you can effectively block other vehicles from entering your lane.
