AMDifficulty 1/5

May several motorcycles ride very close together without keeping the gap needed to stop if the rider ahead brakes sharply?

Correct answer

No; they must keep the necessary gap.

No. Keep the gap required by Article 54 according to speed, grip and braking. The exception for bicycles travelling in a group does not apply to motorcycles. Travelling together is not itself prohibited; failing to keep the gap is the problem. There is no general obligation always to ride in staggered formation: adapt position and distance to the road and conditions.
