6. If you think stopping your motorcycle will take longer than usual, you should:

Lengthen your following distance.

Shorten your following distance.

Leave the road.

Speed up.

Lengthen your following distance when traveling on a slippery surface. If it will take longer than usual for your motorcycle to stop, open up to a longer following distance.

7. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

8. If a friend has been drinking alcohol and wants to drive, which of the following should you not do?

Encourage friends to talk them out of driving.

Arrange for other transportation.

Tell them to take less-crowded roads.

Slow their pace of drinking.

There are several strategies you can use to prevent someone from driving while under the influence of alcohol. You can arrange another way for them to get home, involve them in other activities to slow their pace of drinking, use any available excuse to stop them from leaving before they are sober, and get other friends involved to intervene as a group.

9. When being passed from behind, you should:

Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

Use the center portion of your lane.

Use the right portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

10. When slowing or stopping, you should use both brakes:

Only if the pavement is wet.

Infrequently.

Only when riding in the city.

Every time.

You can achieve maximum stopping power by using both the front and rear brakes. You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
