Motorcycle · Group riding
A group riding in a staggered formation needs to get around a slower vehicle. How should the riders pass it?
Correct answer: Individually, one rider after another.
Answer options
- AIndividually, one rider after another Correct
- BTogether, with the whole group at once
- CIn pairs, two riders at the same time
Why
Each rider pulls out, completes the pass and settles back into formation before the next one goes, so the spacing stays intact and everyone has room to get by safely. Passing together or in pairs crowds the passing lane and leaves little margin for error.
