17. If your rear wheel locks up while you are stopping on a straightaway:

You can usually maintain control of the motorcycle.

You will likely lose control of the motorcycle.

You will need to release the rear brake to regain control of the motorcycle.

If you accidentally lock your rear wheel while stopping on a straightaway, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you can usually control your motorcycle if it is upright and traveling in a straight line.

18. 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.

19. To reduce your reaction time, you should:

Ride more slowly than the speed limit.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Cover the clutch and the brakes.

Ride with extreme caution when approaching an intersection. Cover the clutch and both brakes to reduce your reaction time, if needed.

Protects your face, but not your eyes.

Protects your eyes, but not your whole face.

Helps protect your whole face.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides maximum protection for your entire face, including your eyes, in the event of a crash. A windshield is not an adequate substitute.

23. If you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

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.
