24. When other vehicles are slowed or stopped:

A motorcyclist should not weave between lanes of traffic.

It is acceptable for a motorcyclist to weave in and out of traffic lanes.

A motorcyclist should ride in a straight line between two lanes.

Riding between rows of stopped or slowly moving vehicles can be dangerous. Vehicles may change lanes, doors may open, or arms may be stuck out of vehicles' windows. Despite their size, motorcycles need the full width of a lane to operate safely.

25. The formation you should take when riding in a group:

Is always single-file.

Depends on the situation.

Is always staggered.

In general, it is best for a group to ride in a staggered formation. Move into a single-file formation when taking a curve, making a turn, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

26. When preparing to ride with a passenger, instruct the passenger to:

Get onto the motorcycle before you.

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold firmly onto your waist, hips, or belt.

Ask your passenger to wait to mount the motorcycle until after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt.

27. The best way to stop quickly is to:

Use only your front brake.

Use only your rear brake.

Use both brakes at the same time.

To stop quickly, apply controlled pressure to both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

28. The center portion of a lane contains an oily strip. This strip:

Should be avoided at all times.

Usually provides adequate traction for riding, unless it is raining.

Should only be traveled upon if you are sharing the lane with another vehicle.

While the center strip of the road can be oily, it usually provides enough traction for safe riding, unless it is raining. The oily strip is usually no more than two feet wide, so motorcyclists can generally ride on either side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

29. When you are being passed on the left, you should:

Speed up.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

When being passed on your left, you should ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding in the right portion of the lane can be dangerous as it may tempt the passing driver to re-enter your lane too quickly.

30. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually best to:

Use the shoulder of the road to slow down before crossing the tracks.

Walk your motorcycle across the tracks.

Continue straight within your lane to cross the tracks.

In most cases, it is safest to ride straight within your lane to cross angled railroad or trolley tracks. Changing the angle of your path to cross tracks may send you into another lane, causing a collision with oncoming traffic.
