19. The front brake supplies how much of a motorcycle's potential stopping power?

About 25 percent

About 50 percent

About 70 percent

100 percent

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake and can provide at least 70 percent of the motorcycle's total stopping power.

20. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Always ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Pull the clutch when turning.

In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

21. The front brake:

Provides less than half of a motorcycle's braking power.

Provides about 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power.

Should not be used unless the roadway is wet.

Should be the only brake you use.

The front brake is much more powerful than the rear one and provides at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

22. If you borrow a motorcycle:

Don’t worry about checking the tire pressure.

Expect it to handle the same as your own bike.

The lender will make sure the brakes work so you don't have to.

Give yourself an extra cushion of space when riding to allow more time to react.

If you borrow a motorcycle, make all of the same pre-ride safety checks that you would make on your own motorcycle. You should ride cautiously when using an unfamiliar motorcycle and allow yourself extra space when stopping.

23. Which formation is best for a group of riders entering a curve?

Pyramid

Staggered

Single-file

Compressed

A staggered formation is generally the best way for a group to maintain close ranks while also allowing each rider to maintain an adequate cushion of space. A single-file formation is preferable when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

24. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

25. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.
