AMDifficulty 1/5

Is it prudent to keep your vehicle very close alongside a motorcycle for a prolonged time?

Correct answer

No, it reduces the rider’s safety space and margin.

No. This position reduces the motorcyclist’s safety space and leaves less margin for course changes or loss of stability. Maintain sufficient clearance and follow the applicable overtaking requirements. Do not turn this advice into a generic prohibition of any vehicles being abreast in different lanes, or confuse it with the specific moped rule.
