19. A helmet should not:

Meet U.S. DOT standards.

Fit snugly.

Be without obvious defects.

Have been previously worn in an accident.

You will get the greatest amount of protection from a helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects. A helmet worn at the time of a crash should be replaced.

Slow or stop

Left turn

Right turn

Backing up

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is bent at the elbow and pointing upward, it means the operator plans to turn right or change lanes to the right.

21. The best lane position is:

The one that lets you travel the fastest.

The one that allows you to draft off of other vehicles.

The one that allows you be seen by other motorists.

The one that places you in other vehicles’ blind spots.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise. Choose a lane position that maximizes your space cushion.

22. A linked braking system:

Connects the front and rear brakes, applying both brakes when either brake lever is applied.

Connects the front brake to the gear shifter, applying the brake when the rider downshifts.

Connects the rear brake to a foot control.

Connects the rear brake to a switch on the handlebar.

A linked braking system connects the front and rear brakes on a motorcycle. This system applies braking pressure to both brakes when either the front or rear lever is used. Check your owner's manual for a detailed explanation of the braking system on your motorcycle.

23. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Gradually brake.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

24. Which of the following provides a rider with the best protection?

Goggles

A face shield

A windshield

Eyeglasses

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles will protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield or eyeglasses are not a substitute for either goggles or a face shield.

25. When approaching a blind intersection with a stop sign, riders should:

Stop at the stop sign then proceed through the intersection.

Ignore the stop sign and move forward to get a better look.

Stop at the stop sign before moving forward to improve their view of cross traffic.

Proceed through the intersection without stopping.

When approaching a blind intersection that is controlled by a stop line or stop sign, you must first stop where indicated. You may then edge forward and stop again just short of where the cross traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is approaching. Make sure your front wheel stays out of the crossroad while you are looking.
