Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

Which behavior is typically discouraged when driving near motorcycles?

Giving them adequate space Tailgating or following too closely Using turn signals when changing lanes Maintaining safe following distances

Correct Answer:

Tailgating or following too closely

Explanation:

Tailgating or following too closely is discouraged when driving near motorcycles because it significantly increases the risk of collisions. Motorcyclists have less protective barriers and are more vulnerable in the event of a crash. Additionally, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars, and tailgating does not allow enough reaction time for a driver to respond if the motorcycle suddenly slows down or stops. Maintaining a safe distance is essential to provide both the motorcyclist and the driver with adequate stopping space and the ability to react to unexpected changes in traffic, ensuring overall safety on the road. The other options promote safe driving practices and are recommended behaviors when sharing the road with motorcycles.
