6. When passing parked cars, which part of the lane should you usually use?

Explanation
When passing a row of parked cars, it is often safest to ride in the left portion of your lane. Riding in the left portion will keep you farthest from any opening car doors, people stepping out from between cars, and cars pulling out of parking spaces.

7. Maximum straight-line braking is done by:

Explanation
On a straightaway, you can stop in the shortest distance by using both brakes. Try to avoid locking either brake.

8. When preparing to pass another vehicle on the left, which portion of the lane should you ride in?

Explanation
When preparing to pass another vehicle on its left, you should ride in the left portion of the lane to increase your line of sight and make yourself more visible to oncoming traffic.

9. Which of the following is a poor reason to sound your horn?

Explanation
It is a good idea to sound your horn before riding past a vehicle or pedestrian that may move into your lane. If you see a driver in an adjacent lane driving too closely to the vehicle ahead of them, you may assume that they want to pass and may cut in front of you to do so. If you see a person in the driver's seat of a parked car, or if you see a pedestrian or bicyclist in the street, it is a good idea to sound your horn as you pass.

10. How does the stopping distance for motorcycles compare to the stopping distance for cars?

Explanation
Under normal conditions, the stopping distances for motorcycles is nearly the same as it is for cars. However, slippery pavement makes quick stops especially difficult for motorcycle operators.
