13. More than half of all crashes:

Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.

Happen at night.

Are caused by worn tires.

Involve riders who have ridden their motorcycles for less than six months.

Always take extra care when riding a new or unfamiliar motorcycle. Most crashes involve riders who have had less than six months of experience with the motorcycle that they are using.

14. When you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Weave among the three portions of the lane as the vehicle passes.

When being passed, it is generally a good idea to ride in the center portion of your lane. Being on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases your risk of a collision. Being on the side farthest from the passing vehicle may prompt the other driver to merge back into your lane before it is safe.

15. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.

16. If you cannot avoid a slippery road, you should:

Lean into the slippery section to maintain your balance.

Maintain your speed to improve traction.

Not worry about the road conditions.

Keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as needed.

It is best to entirely avoid slippery stretches of road. However, if there is no way to avoid such an area, keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as possible.

17. When being passed, all of the following are potential hazards, except:

Extended mirrors.

Objects being thrown from other vehicles.

Blasts of wind.

Headlights.

When being passed, motorcyclists should be careful not to be hit by any part of the passing vehicle, including its mirrors. In addition to the vehicle itself, motorcyclists should be aware of wind gusts coming from the passing vehicle and potential objects being thrown by a passenger in the vehicle who may not be paying attention to the road.

18. When passing parked vehicles, motorcycle riders should be especially cautious of:

Motorists looking for a place to park.

Cars leaving their parking spaces.

Oncoming traffic.

Noise.

When passing parked vehicles, use caution. You may encounter vehicles pulling away from the curb or leaving parking spaces.
