Passing Score 40

1. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

2. If in a no passing zone:

A motorcycle may still pass another vehicle.

A motorcycle is not allowed to pass another vehicle.

A motorcycle may pass another vehicle if the pass can be completed before another vehicle approaches.

A motorcycle may pass on the shoulder.

Passing is prohibited in no passing zones. It is also prohibited to pass by riding off of the main-traveled portion of a roadway.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. When checking tire pressure:

Eyeballing the tire is a good method.

Use a tire gauge.

It is best to squeeze the tire.

Compare the height of the tire to another tire.

You should use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure before every ride. An under-inflated tire may still look okay, so a visual check is not enough.

6. The clothing you wear while riding should protect you from all of the following, except:

Sunburn.

Windburn.

Chapped lips.

Dehydration.

The clothes you wear when riding a motorcycle should protect you from sunburn, windburn, rain, dehydration, cold, and parts of the motorcycle. Your clothing should provide you with additional protection in the case of a crash.

7. When being passed, all of the following are potential hazards, except:

Extended mirrors.

Objects being thrown from other vehicles.

Blasts of wind.

Headlights.

When being passed, motorcyclists should be careful not to be hit by any part of the passing vehicle, including its mirrors. In addition to the vehicle itself, motorcyclists should be aware of wind gusts coming from the passing vehicle and potential objects being thrown by a passenger in the vehicle who may not be paying attention to the road.
