21. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

22. Intersections are usually:

Safe since there is so much traffic there.

A dangerous spot for riders.

Difficult to figure out.

Safer than the open road.

Intersections can be dangerous because they present the greatest degree of potential conflict between motorcyclists and other drivers.

23. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

24. When a vehicle attempts to pass you from behind, you should:

Move to the center portion of the lane.

Move to the left portion of the lane.

Move to the right portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about which portion of the lane you are using.

When being passed, it is generally best to ride in the center portion of your lane. Being too close to the passing vehicle increases the risk of a collision.

25. To control your motorcycle well, you should:

Sit with your arms propping you up rather than steering.

Keep your knees against the gas tank for balance.

Allow your feet to hang off the footrests.

Sit so far back that you must stretch to reach the handgrips.

When riding, keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance in turns. Sit so that you can use your arms to steer rather than to prop yourself up. Sit far enough forward that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the handgrips, and keep your feet firmly on the footrests.
