Assume the motorcycle is as easy to see as other vehicles.

Assume other drivers can’t see you.

Not be concerned with taking steps to ensure that other drivers see you.

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane.

Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

22. When entering a curve, a group should:

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a staggered formation.

It may be difficult to see over a load that is placed too high.

Others can't see your load if it is low.

Placing a load too high on a motorcycle will raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and risk upsetting its balance.

25. A motorcyclist should:

Pick a favorite portion of the lane and stay in that portion all the time.

Continually weave among the lane positions to keep other drivers out of their lane.

Choose a lane position based on road and traffic conditions.
