9. An ideal lane position should:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Place you in other drivers’ blind spots.

Invite others to share your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

10. When riding with a group of motorcyclists, a staggered formation:

Is recommended at all times.

Should not be used when entering or exiting a highway.

Should be used when riding in curves.

While riding in a staggered formation is generally advisable, a group of motorcyclists should switch to a single-file formation when riding in curves, turning, and entering or leaving a highway.

11. To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should:

Not use turn signals.

Use proper lane positions.

Follow other vehicles closely.

To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should make yourself visible, communicate your intentions to others, maintain adequate space cushions, search your path of travel at least 12 seconds ahead, identify and separate hazards, and be prepared to react to changing conditions.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. How far in advance should a motorcyclist signal a turn?

50 feet

100 feet

150 feet

You should signal a left or right turn 100 feet before beginning the turn. This should give surrounding operators time to safely react to your intentions.

15. When braking on a motorcycle:

The rear brake should be applied first.

The front brake should be applied first.

The front and rear brakes should be applied at the same time.

Use both brakes every time you slow down or stop. If you use only the rear brake when stopping normally, you may not develop the habit or the skill to use the front brake properly when you really need to stop quickly.

16. When stopping your motorcycle while carrying a passenger, you should:

Ride a little faster than you normally would.

Start slowing earlier than you normally would.

Merge into smaller gaps of traffic than you normally would.

A passenger places extra weight on a motorcycle. Because of the added weight, the motorcycle will respond to the operator's movements more slowly than it would otherwise, taking more time to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the change in handling when carrying a passenger, you should reduce your speed, begin slowing down earlier when you stop, and look for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.
