1. When approaching a blind intersection, you should:

Ride in the portion of the lane that will bring you into other drivers' fields of vision at the earliest possible moment.

Always be in the left lane to be the farthest from oncoming traffic.

Slowly sneak up to the intersection.

Weave slightly in your lane so your headlight has a better chance of being spotted.

When approaching a blind intersection, move into the part of the lane that will bring you into an oncoming driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment. For example, when approaching a blind corner to your right, you may be seen sooner if you are in the left portion of your lane and not in the center portion.

2. Keep an expanded cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you:

When conditions will make stopping more difficult than usual.

When you want to look at the scenery.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

To prevent the driver in front of you from knowing you are there.

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 to a larger following distance.

3. 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.

4. To stop quickly, it is best to:

Throttle down and use the front brake.

Use the rear brake only.

Use the front brake only.

Use both brakes at the same time.

To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time.

5. Motorcycle riders should not rely on their mirrors to see what’s going on around them because:

Motorcycle mirrors are smaller than the mirrors on other vehicles, so you can't see as much.

Motorcycles, like cars, have blind spots.

Mirrors are never accurate.

Mirrors take your eyes off the road in front of you and they should not be used.

Motorcycles, like any other vehicle, have blind spots. Therefore, you cannot rely only on your mirrors to know what is happening behind you. Frequent head checks should be part of your normal routine.
