Practice question

Why is a motorcycle's stopping distance often longer than a car's at the same speed?

  1. Motorcycles have weaker brakes than cars
  2. Motorcycles have only two contact patches with the road and depend on rider skill to use both brakes well; weight transfer and lean angle further limit grip
  3. Motorcycle engines do not allow engine braking
  4. Motorcycles are required by law to stop more slowly

Answer: B — Motorcycles have only two contact patches with the road and depend on rider skill to use both brakes well; weight transfer and lean angle further limit grip
