Passing Score 14

6. A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means:

Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Look both ways as you cross the intersection.

Always come to a full stop at the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.

A red and white downward-facing triangular sign is a yield sign. When approaching this sign, you should slow down and prepare to yield the right-of-way to any pedestrians or vehicles in the crossroad. You may need to come to a stop. Proceed through the intersection when the way is clear.

7. If you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings and your motorcycle begins to weave, you should:

Brake suddenly.

Steer in a weaving pattern.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the grooves.

Move to the leftmost portion of the lane.

A motorcycle may weave while riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, but this is generally not dangerous. If your motorcycle begins to weave, simply relax and proceed straight ahead at a steady speed. Trying to ride in a zigzag pattern to compensate for the weave will only increase the hazard.

8. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Is the best way to know that they see you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

Does not mean that they will yield to you when they should.

Guarantees that they will yield to you.

You should never take eye contact as a guarantee that a driver will properly yield to you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist but fail to register that they are there.

9. When you are being passed by another vehicle, which part of the lane should you ride in?

The left

The center

The right

It doesn’t matter.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with them. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle is also dangerous, as it could tempt the driver to re-enter your lane before it is safe to do so.

10. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Either brake then swerve or swerve then brake.

Brake and swerve at the same time.

Choose to either brake or swerve.

Not swerve and only use the front brake to stop.

If a hazard requires you to brake and swerve to avoid a collision, you should take the actions separately. Do not brake while swerving because doing so may cause your motorcycle to fall over.
