What factor should you particularly pay attention to while riding a moped, in order to keep a proper distance from the vehicle in front of you?

The condition of the road surface has a crucial effect on braking distance and, consequently, on a safe following distance. The moped rider must take into account that on a slippery or wet surface, the braking distance increases significantly. Harsh braking on such a surface risks a loss of grip and a fall; therefore, adjusting the following distance to the road conditions is crucial for safety.
