It does seem to contradict itself.

It starts off by saying a motorcycle occupies the same space on the road as a car. The same 2 second rule when following applies. Then when it gets to the group riding it say no side by side riding. Instead you stagger.

Unlike other vehicles a motorcycle has 3 positions in a lane. Left, middle and right. You can change positions at will to give you the best visibility and comfort or reaction time. When riding in a group it say the first rider uses the left position followed by the second rider 1 second behind in the right position. Then followed by the third rider 2 seconds behind the first rider in the left position.
