If your motorcycle will take longer to stop, what should you do?

Increase your following distance
Apply brakes suddenly
Change lanes rapidly
Speed up to get out of the way

The correct answer is: Increase your following distance

When your motorcycle will take longer to stop, it is important to increase your following distance. This means keeping a greater distance between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you. By increasing your following distance, you allow yourself more time to react and stop safely if needed. This is crucial for ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. The other options are not correct because applying brakes suddenly can lead to loss of control, changing lanes rapidly can increase the risk of a collision, and speeding up to get out of the way can escalate the danger on the road. Increasing your following distance is the best course of action in this situation.
