Which rider is positioned at least 2-4 seconds behind the second rider to the right?

• A. First rider.
• B. Second rider.
• C. Third rider.
• D. Fourth rider.

Answer: (D)

The important idea is maintaining a safe following distance using a time gap rather than a fixed distance. In this lineup, the second rider to the right is ahead of the others, and to be at least 2–4 seconds behind that rider you need the most room behind them. The rider at the back of the group has that extra space, so they naturally meet the 2–4 second gap best. The others are closer and wouldn’t consistently meet that minimum behind the second rider to the right. So the rider positioned at the back is the one who fits the requirement. Quick tip: estimate seconds by picking a fixed object and counting as you pass it, aiming for a 2–4 second gap.
