How would we create an efficient safety space in our front, rear and to the side whilst riding in traffic??
- By positioning ourselves in the middle of the road and driving fast.
- Correct answer: By choosing the proper driving lane and speed in relation to the traffic condition around us.
- By signaling other vehicles to keep away.
- By keeping to the right of the road or of the lane and driving fast.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: By choosing the proper driving lane and speed in relation to the traffic condition around us.
A safety space around the motorcycle comes from choosing the proper lane and speed to suit the traffic around you. This keeps room in front, behind and to the sides, giving you time and space to react. Riding fast, hugging the right edge or sitting in the middle of the road ignores the traffic situation, and signalling others to keep away does not reliably create space.
