BDifficulty 2/5

When travelling beside a motorcycle in another lane, which recommendation reduces lateral-collision risk?

Correct answer

Avoid remaining unnecessarily alongside and maintain separation.

Avoid remaining unnecessarily alongside or in its blind spots, and maintain sufficient separation. Check the motorcycle’s position before changing lanes; lateral movement can be dangerous. This is a defensive-driving recommendation, rather than a general ban on vehicles in different lanes being momentarily alongside. Do not reduce the safe following distance to see better.
