I prefer a 3 second minimum between riders, if running spirited, 5 seconds is better.

And you have to remember using rear brake only on 1000 lbs of bike and rider, it probably was not reaction time, but just plain physics. A car hitting the brakes hard with 4 wheels planted will stop in 1/2 the distance the milti-segment bus.
