19. When riding behind a car, you should ride:

In any part of the lane.

In the part of the lane closest to the shoulder.

In the part of the lane that places your image in the car's rearview mirror.

As close to the car as possible.

When following a car, you should ride in a position that allows the driver to see you in their rearview mirror. Usually, that means riding in the center portion of the lane. Because most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than they check their side mirrors, being in this lane position increases the chance that they will see you.

20. If you wait one hour to ride after having one alcoholic drink:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and driving.

Your riding skills will not be affected by the alcohol.

Effects from the alcohol may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

21. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Not use your turn signals when changing lanes.

Follow other vehicles closely.

Watch about five feet ahead of your motorcycle while riding.

Always be ready to use crash-avoidance techniques.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle. Always be ready to avoid an unexpected hazard.

22. When riding on a slippery surface, you should:

Increase your speed.

Use only the front brake.

Avoid making sudden moves.

Travel on the shoulder so you are not next to other traffic.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should use both brakes when braking is necessary, reduce your speed, and avoid making sudden moves. Be especially alert to oily areas, shaded areas, dirt, gravel, and bridges, as these surfaces may provide less traction than others.

23. Mirror checks:

Are unimportant.

Should only be done on long trips.

Should be part of your normal scanning routine.

Are not helpful since you can’t do anything about what is behind you.

Frequent mirror checks should be part of your normal searching routine. Additionally, make a special point of using your mirrors before changing lanes, when stopping at an intersection, and before slowing down.

24. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

25. A motorcycle operator can slow down by:

Downshifting.

Upshfting.

Cross-shifting.

Rolling on the throttle.

Motorcyclists often slow down by simply downshifting. Motorcyclists should be aware that slowing down in this manner does not activate the brake lights.
