Correct answer

Enough to allow me to stop the motorcycle safely without colliding with the vehicle in front

If you are riding your motorcycle behind another vehicle you intend to overtake, and the road has more than one lane per direction, you must maintain a separation that allows you, in the event of the vehicle in front braking sharply, to stop the motorcycle and avoid colliding with it.
