19. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

20. Usually, a good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Move onto the shoulder to get out of their way.

Speed up and put distance between you and the tailgater.

Ignore them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Usually, the best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to follow you at a faster speed.

Plans to turn left.

Is about to stop.

Plans to turn right.

Is about to slow down.

Instead of mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

22. It is recommended that a motorcyclist:

Shift gears in a turn.

Shift gears before a turn.

Change power suddenly in a turn.

Ride the brake throughout the turn.

It is recommended that you change gears prior to entering a turn.

23. The front brake is:

Safe, if used properly.

Safe, even if used improperly.

Only to be used if the rear brake fails.

Not to be used regularly.

The front brake is safe to use as long as it is used properly. The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake, providing at least three-fourths of the total stopping power.

24. When approaching an object or uneven surface that you cannot avoid, you should:

Make sure the motorcycle is leaning to one side.

Speed up.

Swerve quickly.

Rise slightly off the seat to allow your legs to absorb the shock.

If you cannot avoid riding over an obstacle or uneven surface, you should approach it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can, make sure that your motorcycle is upright, and rise slightly off your seat so your knees can absorb some of the force of impact. Just before contact, roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end.

25. Which of the following is not important when looking for a motorcycle helmet?

The helmet meets U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

The helmet fits snugly all the way around your head.

The helmet has no obvious defects, such as cracks or loose padding.

The helmet looks cool.

To ensure that a helmet will provide you with as much protection as possible, check to see if it meets U.S. DOT and state standards; fits snugly all the way around your head; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.
