Tips for driving safely with motorcycle riders:
• Never share a lane with a motorcycle rider. A motorcycle rider needs the whole lane to travel safely.
• Be aware that motorcycle riders will often move within their lane to avoid road hazards, such as pot holes, and to maintain a space cushion from other vehicles.
• When you are following someone riding a motorcycle, allow extra space between your vehicle and the motorcycle because motorcycles can stop very quickly.
• Be aware that poor weather, road conditions, or road hazards could make the motorcycle rider lose control.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts. The official PDF is authoritative.
