7. How can you increase your ability to be seen at an intersection?

Try to make eye contact with other drivers.

Make sure you always ride using your headlight.

Wave your arms.

Ride closely to vehicles in front of you.

To maximize your ability to be seen at an intersection, ride with your headlight on and select a lane position that provides oncoming traffic with the best view of your motorcycle. Maintain a space cushion that allows you enough space to take evasive action if a hazard arises. You should never assume that making eye contact with a driver will be enough to make them consciously register your presence.

8. When riding downhill on a motorcycle with a sidecar:

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

You cannot stop.

Stopping is about as easy as it is when riding without the sidecar.

Riding with a sidecar increases the weight of a motorcycle and increases the braking force needed to stop the motorcycle. Slowing and stopping take longer when riding a vehicle downhill than when riding on a flat surface.

9. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Do one, then the other.

Do both at the same time.

Always apply the brakes first, then swerve.

Try instead to use only the brakes.

If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should perform both actions separately. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake. Do not do both at the same time.

10. When riding in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlight.

Use your low beam headlight.

Use no lights.

Alternate between the low and high beams.

You should use your low beam headlight when riding in foggy conditions. Do not use your high beams when riding near other vehicles.

11. What can you do to increase your chances of being seen at an intersection?

Ride while using your headlight.

Swerve within your lane to draw attention to your motorcycle.

Raise your arms.

Avoid using your brakes.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, use your headlight and ride in a lane position that creates the best view of oncoming traffic. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle that allows you to take evasive action.

12. The best lane position:

Is always the right portion of the lane.

Is always the center portion of the lane.

Is always the left portion of the lane.

Varies based on road, weather, and traffic conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. You should vary your lane position in response to changes in riding conditions.
