8. 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.

9. When being passed, you should not move to the portion of the lane farthest from the passing driver because it:

Discourages the passing driver from cutting into your lane too early.

Encourages the passing driver to cut into your lane too early.

Encourages the passing driver to complete the pass as quickly as possible.

Encourages other drivers to pass you.

Moving into the portion of your lane farthest from a passing vehicle is potentially dangerous because it could encourage the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so. It is safest to stay in the center of a lane when being passed.

10. Taking corners too fast:

Can cause the rider to go into another lane.

Is better than going too slowly.

Often causes the rider to stay in their lane.

Is acceptable because motorcycles are smaller than other types of vehicles.

Taking a corner too fast may cause you to cross into another lane or go off the road. Be sure to decelerate before beginning to take a turn or curve.

11. As weight transfers to the front of your bike while you are braking, you should:

Gradually increase pressure to the front brake.

Use more rear brake pressure.

Not worry. The weight transfer will not have an effect on your motorcycle.

Try to lock the front tire.

While you are braking, gradually increase the amount of pressure applied to the front brake lever as the weight of the bike is transferred forward to the front tire.

12. 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.

13. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

14. If a driver is following you too closely, you should:

Flash your brake light before you slow to warn the other driver.

Accelerate.

Pull over to the side of the road.

Slow down.

If someone is following you too closely, it is a good idea to flash your brake light before slowing down. A tailgater may be concentrating on you and not see upcoming hazards that require traffic to slow down.
