To reduce the likelihood of being involved in an accident with a two-wheeled vehicle, it is important to **drive parallel for the shortest possible time**. This is due to several factors related to **defensive driving**:

- **Blind spots**: Vehicles have areas on the sides that are not visible through the rearview mirrors, known as blind spots. These are especially dangerous because you cannot see if there is a two-wheeled vehicle in that area. Driving parallel for a long time increases the risk of a two-wheeled vehicle remaining in the blind spot without you noticing.


- **Constant mirror checking**: It is essential to look at the rearview mirrors frequently and quickly to be aware of what is happening on the sides and behind the vehicle. However, this does not completely eliminate the risk of blind spots, so it is better to minimize the time in parallel.

- **Safe lateral distance**: Maintaining an adequate distance when overtaking or crossing with other vehicles is crucial. Driving parallel for a long time can make it difficult to maintain this distance, increasing the risk of collision.

In summary, by reducing the time spent driving parallel with a two-wheeled vehicle, the risks associated with blind spots are minimized, and maintaining a safe lateral distance is facilitated.
