D: When the pavement is slippery, you can't see through the vehicle ahead, or traffic is heavy.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Keeping Your Distance: Following Another Vehicle, page 9.

B: Give them plenty of room: change lanes if one is open, or adjust speed to make space.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Keeping Your Distance: Cars Alongside, page 10.

D: Use lighter pressure on the rear brake, because less traction is available at the rear. As weight transfers forward, the front gains traction and the rear loses it, so apply light-to-lighter pressure to the rear to prevent a skid. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Basic Vehicle Control: Braking, page 7.
