13. If you are driving near a motorcycle, you must:

Explanation
A motorcycle is a full-size vehicle with the same privileges as any other vehicle on the roadway. You should allow a motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem as though there is enough room in the traffic lane for a larger vehicle and a motorcycle, remember that the motorcycle needs room to maneuver safely.

14. A good rule to remember for passing is:

Explanation
Each time you pass another vehicle, there is an increased chance for a collision. If you are moving faster than surrounding traffic, you will have to continue passing others. Drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit, and pass only as needed.

15. ____ limit your concentration, perception, judgment, and memory.

Explanation
Even the smallest amount of alcohol will reduce your concentration, perception, judgment and memory, and your driving skills will suffer. No one can drink and drive safely.

16. Massachusetts law requires headlights to be used:

Explanation
Massachusetts law requires that your headlights be on one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise. Headlights can help increase visibility in situations with naturally lowered visibility.

17. When a stop is required at an intersection and no markings appear to indicate a stop line or crosswalk, a driver:

Explanation
If there is no stop line or crosswalk, you should stop at the point nearest to the intersecting roadway where you can get a view of approaching traffic. You should not enter the intersecting roadway to gain a better view.

18. If you need to drive in foggy weather:

Explanation
You are required to use your headlights during the day when visibility is reduced to 500 feet or less. When you first turn on your headlights, be sure they are adjusted to the low beam setting. Using high beams in fog or rain will cause the light to reflect back into your eyes, lowering visibility even more.
