6. When riding in a group while passing another vehicle, it is best to:

Allow one rider to fully pass the other vehicle before another rider begins to pass.

Allow several members of the group to pass the other vehicle at once.

Have the last rider in the group wave to the driver being passed to signal that no other motorcycles are approaching.

Pass in a staggered formation.

Riders in a group should overtake another vehicle one at a time. Each rider should complete their pass and resume their position in the group formation before the next rider begins to pass.

7. Your lane position should not:

Increase your ability to see.

Avoid placing you in other drivers' blind spots.

Encourage other drivers to share your lane.

Provide you with an escape route.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

8. When changing lanes, riders should:

Rely only on their mirrors to identify other vehicles.

Turn their head to look for traffic behind them.

Not worry about other traffic.

Slam on the brakes to allow any vehicles in their blind spot to pass.

A motorcycle has blind spots just like any other vehicle. A rider must always turn their head to check for traffic before changing lanes.

9. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

10. When a group of riders is passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, the riders should:

Pass in pairs.

Pass in a staggered formation with several riders passing at the same time.

Pass one at a time.

Avoid passing.

When a group of motorcyclists is passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, the riders should pass the vehicle one at a time. Each motorcyclist should complete their pass before the next rider's pass begins.
