Motorcyclists don’t always use brakes to slow down, so you may not see a brake light in time. To avoid being surprised, allow 3 to 4 seconds between you and the motorcycle: Look ahead at a stationary object (a tree or sign), and when the motorcycle passes that object, slowly start counting. If you reach the object before you’ve counted to 4, you’re too close.
