22. When riding near a truck:

If you cannot see the truck’s mirrors, the driver cannot see you.

You should not be able to see the truck’s mirrors.

You should concentrate on operating your motorcycle and not worry about the truck’s mirrors.

It is important for motorcyclists to avoid lingering in the blind spots of any vehicle, especially in those of large trucks. Remember that if you can't see the truck's mirrors, the driver can't see you.

23. If you are passing a row of parked vehicles to your right and there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of your lane.

In the right portion of your lane.

In the center of your lane.

If you are passing a row of parked vehicles to your right and there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. This will help you avoid hazards, such as car doors that are opening and pedestrians who are stepping out from between vehicles. If there is oncoming traffic, it is best to remain in the center portion of your lane to maximize the amount of space around you.

24. When riding ________, you are facing the greatest potential for conflict between you and other vehicles.

On the expressway

Near an intersection

In a group

Intersections present the greatest potential for conflict between motorcycles and other vehicles. When approaching an intersection, be sure you are riding in a lane position that makes you most visible to other road users.

25. If possible, do not ride directly next to another vehicle because:

Another driver may want to use your lane to pass.

You may be in the vehicle’s blind spot.

You may have access to escape routes.

Riding directly alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you may be in the vehicle's blind spot and the driver will not know you are there. Additionally, the vehicle may block your route of escape if any hazards should arise.

26. A DOT-compliant helmet:

Severely limits your vision.

Allows you to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding.

Can become a hazard to the rider.

While some people believe that a helmet will limit their vision, this is not the case. Any U.S. Department of Transportation-approved helmet will allow the wearer to see as far as is needed for safe riding.

27. One problem with a motorcyclist riding directly next to another vehicle is that:

The other vehicle may block the motorcyclist's escape route.

The motorcyclist can be easily seen by other drivers.

The motorcyclist may not be able to read signs on the side of the road.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because the vehicle could veer into your lane and sideswipe you. Additionally, the vehicle could block your escape route if a hazard arises.

28. When being passed from behind, which portion of the lane should you ride in?

Right

Center

Left

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

29. If riding during the day, you should wear:

Brightly-colored clothing to increase your chances of being seen.

Clothing of any color because other drivers can easily see you in daylight.

Darkly-colored clothing to contrast with the bright sunlight.

Most motorcycle crashes take place in broad daylight. You should always wear brightly-colored clothing to increase your visibility while riding, even during the day.

30. If your front wheel locks while you are braking, you should:

Keep the tire locked until your next stop.

Continue squeezing the front brake lever.

Release the front brake and immediately re-apply it.

If the front wheel locks up while you are braking, release the pressure from the front brake. Immediately re-apply pressure to the brake with controlled gradual pressure.
