13. When you ride a motorcycle, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look through turns.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go by turning only your head. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance while turning. Your arms should be slightly bent any time you are holding the handgrips.

14. You should use a larger cushion of space:

When roads are slippery.

When it is sunny outside.

When it is colder than usual.

When you are following other motorcycles.

A two-second following distance is generally appropriate. Allow a larger cushion of space when riding under conditions that will increase your stopping distance, such as when the road surface is icy or wet.

15. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Use your turn signals to indicate that you plan to change lanes.

Tailgate other drivers.

Keep your eyes focused no more than 15 feet in front of your motorcycle.

Not use a headlight during the day.

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.

16. How can a motorcycle operator discourage lane sharing by other drivers?

By giving dirty looks to other drivers

By riding in the center portion of the lane

By riding in the left portion of the lane

By riding in a zigzag pattern

By riding in the center portion of your lane, you will ensure that there is not a large space on either side of your motorcycle. Minimizing those spaces can help deter drivers from trying to share the lane with you.

17. A proper lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Help you avoid traffic signals.

Communicate your intentions to other road users.

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.

18. The primary source of information about your motorcycle should come from:

The motorcycle's former owner.

The owner’s manual.

A library book about motorcycles.

A motorcycle enthusiast.

The owner's manual should be your primary source of information about your specific type of motorcycle. Be sure to read the manual before operating your motorcycle for the first time.
