8. Which type of sign is yellow with black lettering or symbols?

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

9. When using a motorcycle with which you are unfamiliar, you should:

Test the seat to make sure it is comfortable.

Assume the motorcycle is in good riding condition.

Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times before riding.

Ride as you usually do, since most bikes are similar.

Since all motorcycles are somewhat different, you should be very careful when using one that is new to you. Familiarize yourself with the motorcycle before setting off. Learn the gear pattern before riding by working the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times.

10. When riding in a group, the best riding formation is generally:

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

A single-file line.

A pyramid formation.

A staggered formation is generally best when riding in a group. You should move into a single-file line when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or exiting a highway.

11. Motorcyclists riding in a group should avoid pairing up because:

A merging driver may not see both riders.

Reflections from both helmets may make it difficult for the riders to see.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

It is too difficult for riders on the left side of a pairing to exit a highway.

When traveling in a group, it is never recommended for motorcyclists to ride in pairs. Neither rider will have adequate room to maneuver to avoid hazards.

12. When riding, a cushion of space is helpful to:

Give you space to react to hazards.

Hide you from other drivers.

Prevent you from avoiding hazards.

Allow you to look at road signs.

Allowing a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times will help ensure that you will have time to react if another driver makes a mistake. You will need the space to maneuver safely.

13. Which of the following is not a benefit of riding in a close group?

It takes up minimal space on the highway.

The group is easy to see.

The group is unlikely to be split up.

The riders will get to their destination more quickly in a close group than a group that is spread out.

Riding in close ranks is recommended over riding in a group that is spread out because the group will take up less space on the road, be easier for others to see, and be less likely to get separated at traffic lights and during passes.

14. A windshield:

Is a good substitute for a face shield.

Does not completely protect your eyes from the wind.

Is required on all motorcycles.

Should be used on windy days.

A windshield is not an adequate substitute for the protection offered by goggles or a face shield. Most windshields will not protect your eyes from the wind.
