19. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

20. When entering a turn, a rider should:

Speed up.

Reduce their speed.

Move their shoulders to match the angle of the turn.

Sit up as high as possible.

Before entering a turn, a motorcyclist should reduce their speed by closing the throttle and, if necessary, applying both brakes.

21. Which of the following is a reason for ending the motorcycle skills test?

The applicant drops the motorcycle.

The applicant rides safely.

The applicant obeys traffic laws.

The applicant follows instructions.

During a motorcycle skills test, the examiner is required to end the test if you fall off of or drop the motorcycle (for a two-wheeler), excessively tip or lose control (for a three-wheeler), stall the engine at least four times, commit an unsafe act, disregard instructions, violate a traffic regulation, or accumulate enough points to fail the test.

22. Small vehicles can appear and seem to be traveling than they actually are.

Farther away, more slowly

Farther away, faster

Closer, more slowly

Closer, faster

Small vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This phenomenon can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge the location and speed of a smaller vehicle.

23. When changing lanes, riders should:

Rely only on their mirrors to identify other vehicles.

Turn their head to look for traffic behind them.

Not worry about other traffic.

Slam on the brakes to allow any vehicles in their blind spot to pass.

A motorcycle has blind spots just like any other vehicle. A rider must always turn their head to check for traffic before changing lanes.

24. When crossing railroad tracks that are parallel to the road, you should:

Cross the tracks at a 90-degree angle.

Avoid crossing the tracks for any reason.

Try to cross the tracks at a 45-degree angle.

Slowly inch across the tracks.

To safely cross railroad tracks, trolley tracks, or pavement seams running parallel to your lane, move to a lane position that will allow you to cross them at an angle of at least 45 degrees. Then, make a quick, sharp turn. If you try to edge across, the tracks or seam could catch your tires and throw you off balance.

25. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.
