1. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually safest to approach the tracks:

By proceeding straight within your lane.

At a 45-degree angle.

At a 90-degree angle.

At a fast speed.

In general, it is safest to simply proceed straight in your lane when crossing angled railroad tracks. Turning to approach tracks at a right angle can be dangerous because it may send you traveling into another lane.

2. When riding in curves, turning, or entering a highway, the best group formation is:

Pairs.

Single-file.

Staggered.

Passing.

While riding in a staggered formation is generally the best option when traveling in a group, riders should move into a single-file line through curves, through turns, and when entering or exiting a highway.

3. Reflective clothing should:

Be worn only at night.

Be worn only during the day.

Not be worn.

Be worn day and night.

Brightly-colored and/or reflective clothing will increase your chances of being seen under any conditions. Remember that most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight so it is still best to wear bright clothing during the day.

4. Why should you use both the front and rear brakes every time you slow or stop?

Using only one brake will cause the brakes to wear unevenly.

It develops good braking habits for emergency situations.

Using both brakes is the only way to slow down a motorcycle.

The brakes only work when both are applied.

Using both brakes even in normal stopping stops will help you develop the habit of always using both. Having this habit will serve you well in emergencies, where using both brakes may be critical.

5. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.
