Maintaining a space cushion means having the time to respond smoothly to any potential problems that may arise while riding. By keeping a safe distance between your motorcycle and other vehicles on the road, you provide yourself with more reaction time to avoid hazards, make necessary adjustments, and handle unexpected situations. This proactive approach to spacing helps enhance safety and overall riding experience. Option B refers to a general safety tip, option C relates to the concept of riding defensively by assuming other drivers may not see you, and option D discusses the strategy of lane positioning for motorcyclists.
