What is the 4 second rule on a motorcycle?
The concept is simple: put at least four seconds of following distance between your motorcycle and the vehicle ahead of you. With this, you give yourself that crucial time you need to react to sudden stops, lane changes, or road hazards in front of you. Ride safer with the 2-4-12 Rule! It’s all about how far ahead you’re watching the road: 2 seconds ahead to monitor the space right in front of you. Stay alert and give yourself time to react.
