What is considered a safe distance to follow another vehicle on a moped?

Maintaining a safe following distance on a moped is crucial for ensuring the safety of both the rider and others on the road. Following at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front provides a buffer that allows the rider to react appropriately to sudden stops or emergencies. This distance gives ample time to assess the situation and apply brakes without the risk of a collision, which is particularly important on a moped, where stopping distances can vary.

The two-second rule is a widely accepted guideline for various vehicles and ensures that riders have sufficient reaction time while also considering the dynamics of riding a moped. A safe distance helps to avoid accidents caused by tailgating, providing better visibility and reaction time to changing conditions on the road.
