11. If hazards are on your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of the lane.

In the right portion of the lane.

In any portion of the lane.

On the shoulder.

When hazards exist to your left, it is often best to ride in the right portion of the lane. Be prepared to adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change.

12. How can you increase your ability to be seen at an intersection?

Try to make eye contact with other drivers.

Make sure you always ride using your headlight.

Wave your arms.

Ride closely to vehicles in front of you.

To maximize your ability to be seen at an intersection, ride with your headlight on and select a lane position that provides oncoming traffic with the best view of your motorcycle. Maintain a space cushion that allows you enough space to take evasive action if a hazard arises. You should never assume that making eye contact with a driver will be enough to make them consciously register your presence.

13. Signals on a motorcycle:

Are not very important.

Are even more important than signals on larger vehicles.

Should not be used unless another vehicle is right next to the motorcycle.

Are less important than signals on larger vehicles.

Because motorcyclists are more vulnerable than the drivers of cars and trucks, appropriate use of signals by motorcyclists is even more important than it is for other drivers.

14. A pre-ride inspection should be done:

Before every ride.

Once a week.

Once a month.

Once a season.
