A2Difficulty 3/5

You ride a motorcycle behind another vehicle on an uneven or gravel-covered surface. Which of these precautions is appropriate?

Correct answer

Increase the safety distance from the vehicle ahead.

Increase your safety margin and adapt speed. Unevenness or gravel can reduce grip and make braking and control harder; a greater gap leaves more time and space to react. Avoid abrupt inputs and choose a safe path. Gravel does not necessarily create potholes, and not every damaged surface always increases braking distance. Fog lights do not solve those risks or become permitted merely because there are potholes.
