Correct answer
Stop without a collision if the motorcycle ahead brakes suddenly.
Stopping without a collision if it brakes suddenly, taking speed, grip and braking capability into account. There is no general fixed minimum of two motorcycle lengths or 50 metres for all motorcycles and conditions. If you do not intend to overtake, also leave room for others to overtake where Article 54.2 requires it, subject to its exceptions.
