Motorcyclists

A motorcycle is entitled to the full lane width; never move into the same lane beside one. Follow farther back than you would a car, and farther still on wet roads. Before a right turn look left, right and left again, because motorcycles hide in blind zones.

Gravel, potholes and manhole covers can make a rider swerve suddenly, and a rider slowing on the throttle shows no brake light. Give them time to see your signals.

Example: the lane is wide and the motorcycle ahead rides to the right. You may not use that space to pass within the lane; change lanes as you would for a car.
