Passing a motorcycle requires giving the rider a full, separate lane to complete the pass. Motorcycles are smaller and can hide in your blind spots or react quickly to hazards, so treating them as needing extra space reduces the risk of cutting them off or forcing abrupt moves. By moving completely into the adjacent lane and passing with a full lane width, you create a clear buffer and can re-enter once the rider is clearly ahead in your rear‑view. This approach also aligns with safe practices: signal, check mirrors and blind spots, maintain a safe speed relative to the other vehicle, and return to your lane only after the motorcycle is fully ahead.
