Safe Driving & Sharing the Road

When sharing the road with a motorcycle, you should:

  • a.Give it a full lane width and extra following room
  • b.Share the lane beside it
  • c.Pass closely to move ahead quickly
  • d.Follow more closely because it is small

Motorcycles are entitled to a full lane; never share it, and allow extra following distance because bikes can stop quickly. (Arkansas Driver License Study Guide)
