Information
Most of us are taught as kids that sharing is the right thing to do. But drivers of cars, as well as riders of motorcycles and bicycles can seem more apt to stoke each other’s rage than happily share the road.
And with more people commuting to work on bicycles than ever before (across cities, the average increase from 2000 to 2013 was 62 percent, according to the League of American Bicyclists), it’s crucial that all drivers watch out for each other. Answer the following questions to see if your road-sharing skills need sharpening.

Question 5 of 7
5. Question
How many seconds of following distance should drivers stay behind motorcyclists?
Correct
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.
