How does maintaining a space cushion help you while riding?

It prevents accidents
It gives you time to react
It saves fuel
It reduces tire wear

The correct answer is: It gives you time to react

Maintaining a space cushion while riding is essential because it provides the rider with additional time to react to unexpected situations. By keeping a safe distance between your motorcycle and other vehicles, you create a buffer zone that allows for better visibility and awareness of your surroundings. This space helps you assess potential hazards more effectively and gives you ample time to make decisions, whether it's to brake, accelerate, or maneuver around an obstacle. In critical situations, having this extra time can be the difference between avoiding an accident and being involved in one. Therefore, fostering a space cushion is a key practice for enhancing safety on the road.
