Not necessarily true. There is a lot of debate over this. It depends on many factors such as type of bike and weigh, rider skill, whether the vehicle has ABS, etc. According to the Kansas Motorcycle Handbook:
Quote:
FOLLOWING
ANOTHER
VEHICLE
“Following too closely” could
be a factor in crashes involving
motorcyclists. In traffic, motorcycles
need as much distance to stop as
cars. Normally,
a minimum of two
seconds
distance should be
maintained behind the vehicle ahead
