19. Which of the following surfaces provides the best traction for a motorcycle?

A gravel road

Dry pavement

Mud

Lane markings

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

20. For routine braking:

You should only use the front brake.

You should only use the rear brake.

You should alternate between the front and rear brakes to maximize the life of the brakes.

You should always use both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Always use both brakes every time that you slow or stop.

21. A flat front tire is especially hazardous because:

It affects how you steer.

The front tire provides the power for the bike, so you will lose acceleration.

The flat tire will shake the bike, making it hard to use the mirrors.

You won’t be able to use the brake.

A flat front tire is especially dangerous because it affects your ability to steer. If your front tire goes flat while you are riding, safely exit the road as quickly as possible.

22. When riding on a slippery surface, you should not:

Reduce your speed.

Avoid sudden moves.

Use both brakes.

Brake quickly.

To safely ride on a slippery surface, you should reduce your speed, avoid making sudden movements, and use both brakes if you need to brake.

23. You can increase your visibility by:

Adding auxiliary lights to your motorcycle.

Not using your turn signal.

Wearing dark clothing.

Waving at people.

To increase your visibility, you can wear clothing that is brightly-colored or that contains reflective materials. Adding auxiliary lights to your motorcycle, using your turn signals, and flashing your brake light when appropriate are also good ways to get the attention of other road users.

24. When you are being passed by another vehicle, which part of the lane should you ride in?

The left

The center

The right

It doesn’t matter.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with them. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle is also dangerous, as it could tempt the driver to re-enter your lane before it is safe to do so.

25. When making normal stops, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Alternate between the front and rear brakes.

Make it a habit to always use both brakes when slowing or stopping, even for normal, non-emergency stops.
