When sharing the road with motorcycles, what is a good principle to follow?

Always keeping a safe distance when sharing the road with motorcycles is key for several reasons. Motorcycles are smaller and less stable than cars, and they can stop more quickly. By maintaining a safe distance, drivers in larger vehicles give motorcyclists the room they need to maneuver and respond to road conditions without the risk of a collision. This principle also allows drivers to have a better view of the motorcycle and react appropriately to any sudden movements, which are more common among motorcycles due to their maneuverability. It promotes safety for both motorcyclists and other road users, creating a more predictable and secure driving environment.
