13. As the motorcycle’s weight moves forward while braking, you:

Can apply the front brake harder.

Should lessen the amount of pressure on the front brake.

Can apply the rear brake harder.

Lose traction.

As your weight shifts forward while you are braking, the amount of traction available to the front wheel increases. This means that you can begin to apply the front brake harder.

14. Brightly-colored helmets:

May make it easier for the wearer to be seen.

Can be distracting.

Don’t help to improve a rider's visibility.

Are not permitted.

Choosing a brightly-colored helmet is recommended. Not only will the helmet protect you in the case of a crash, but the bright color of the helmet will help other road users see you.

15. What should a motorcyclist do to prevent possible injury when riding on a slippery surface?

Increase their speed.

Reduce their speed.

Make sudden moves.

Ride on the shoulder.

When riding on a slippery surface, it is safest to decrease your speed. Making sudden moves on a slippery surface could cause your motorcycle to skid. Do not travel on the shoulder to escape a slippery road.

16. When approaching an intersection, you should:

Assume other drivers see you, especially if they make eye contact.

Never assume other drivers see you.

Stay focused on moving through the intersection.

Speed up to make others notice you.

Never assume that other drivers see you, even if they make eye contact with you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to notice them. Always reduce your speed when approaching an intersection.

17. One of the benefits of performing regular maintenance on your motorcycle is that:

The motorcycle will ride well for a long period of time.

The maintenance check will take a lot of time.

Maintenance will be costly.

Maintenance checks can often prevent parking tickets.

A motorcycle will continue to ride like new if it is properly maintained and routine inspections become a part of its regular maintenance cycle.

18. When stopping:

The rear brake should be applied first.

The front brake should be applied first.

Both brakes should be applied at the same time.

Only one brake, front or rear, should be used.

You should use both brakes every time you slow down or stop. Always apply the brakes simultaneously.
