What is the proper following distance behind a motorcyclist?

The proper following distance behind a motorcyclist is typically at least three to four seconds. This gives you enough time to react to any sudden stops or changes in the motorcyclist's speed. It's important to maintain this distance, as motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars, and it helps ensure safety for both the motorcyclist and yourself. Always adjust your following distance based on road conditions, weather, and traffic.
