11. When riding under ideal conditions, you should maintain a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Under normal conditions, you should maintain a following distance of at least two seconds. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

12. When being passed by another vehicle, you should:

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the center portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Try to get onto the shoulder.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side of the lane nearest the passing driver increases the danger of a collision, and riding on the side farthest from the passing driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.

13. Slippery surfaces can make it difficult to control a motorcycle. Which of the following would be considered a slippery surface?

Wet pavement

A driveway

Dry pavement

A parking lot

Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be slippery surfaces. Motorcyclists should ride with extra caution when riding over slippery surfaces.

14. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handle grips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat, hold both handle grips firmly, ease off of the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is). As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

15. The best source of information for your motorcycle is:

The owner’s manual.

A general book about motorcycles.

Someone who has a different type of motorcycle.

A television show about motorcycle riding.

To be sure you are familiar with the specific type of motorcycle that you are planning to ride, read the owner's manual before riding it for the first time. This is particularly important if you are riding a borrowed motorcycle.
