Give them extra roomThis was the right answer

Leave extra room because a motorcyclist may suddenly move around a pothole, raised cover or other surface defect. Watch the road as well as the rider and do not follow closely. A shoulder check may give a clue, but a hazard-avoidance movement may occur without warning.
