36. When adjusting your mirrors, you should focus on:

The road behind and to the side of your motorcycle.

Your arms.

The road in front of your motorcycle.

The side of the motorcycle.

Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you. When properly adjusted, a mirror may show the edge of your arm or shoulder, but it’s the road behind you and to the side of you that is most important.

37. When carrying a passenger in a sidecar, you should:

Begin slowing sooner than usual.

Begin slowing later than usual.

Apply the brakes more firmly than usual to stop quickly.

Apply the brakes more softly than usual to keep from overworking them.

The added weight of a passenger in a sidecar will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to require extra space to come to a complete stop.

38. Proper clothing for riding offers all of the following, except:

Comfort.

Protection in a collision.

Protection from the cold.

Discomfort.

Proper clothing for riding can help protect you from injury in the event of a collision. It can also protect against routine hazards and discomforts, such as hot or cold weather.

39. When braking:

Use only one brake if it is a non-emergency situation.

Only use both brakes if you are riding on wet pavement.

Use both brakes regardless of the circumstances.

Use only the front brake.

You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

40. Braking in a turn is:

Easier than braking on a straightaway.

More difficult than braking on a straightaway.

Done safely by using the front brake only.

Done safely by using the rear brake only.

Braking in a turn is not as easy as braking on a straightaway. It is possible to use both brakes to brake in a turn, but the operator must know the proper technique and exercise great care.

41. When you are being passed from behind, you should:

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride in any portion of the lane.

When you are being passed from behind, stay in the center portion of your lane. This will discourage the other driver from re-entering your lane before it is safe.

42. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should be placed:

In the front of the group.

Just behind the lead rider.

At the back of the group.

Anywhere within the group.

Inexperienced riders should ride near the front of a group, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can keep an eye on them from behind.
