Correct answer
No, keep the gap needed to avoid collision.
No. Keep the gap needed to stop without collision under article 54.1, considering speed, grip and braking ability. Following too closely reduces safety and may worsen visibility; it is not allowed because the vehicle is a motorcycle or to see better. This differs from the additional article 54.2 space allowing another vehicle to overtake, required when no intention to overtake is signalled. During the manoeuvre, observe lateral clearance and the other applicable conditions.
