When you are following a motorcyclist, what are you required to do?

Correct answer: Let the motorcycle use the full width of its lane.

Answer options

  1. APass the motorcycle without leaving the lane it is in
  2. BLet the motorcycle use the full width of its lane Correct
  3. CUse the shoulder to drive alongside the motorcycle

Why

A motorcycle has the same right to a full lane as a car, and riders often shift within the lane to avoid potholes, debris, or gusts of wind. Never try to share the lane with a motorcycle, pass it within its own lane, or drive on the shoulder next to it.
