A1Difficulty 3/5

You ride motorcycles with friends on a road open to traffic, without taking part in an authorised competition. What risk should the group avoid?

Correct answer

Competitive behaviour or attempts to show off that compromise safety.

Group pressure can encourage racing, dangerous manoeuvres or attempts to impress others. Riding together does not authorise such behaviour or guarantee safety through the power of the leading motorcycle. Each rider must maintain safe speed, position and spacing for their ability and the conditions. Organise the group with experienced riders, without forcing anyone to keep a pace they cannot safely maintain.

All options

  • Competitive behaviour or attempts to show off that compromise safety.

  • None: a lateral gap of 1.50 metres alone authorises any side-by-side formation.

  • None, if an inexperienced rider on the most powerful motorcycle leads.
