15. When riding on a slippery surface, you should:

Not make sudden movements, if possible.

Handle your motorcycle roughly.

Use only your front brake.

On a slippery surface, any sudden change in speed or direction could cause a skid. Accelerate, shift gears, turn, and brake as smoothly as you can when riding on a slippery surface.

16. It can be difficult to ride right after it starts raining because:

Some other drivers may not react quickly enough to the rain.

Pavement will be especially slippery.

Other drivers do not drive fast enough in wet weather.

Pavement can be particularly slippery after it has just started to rain. Oil from vehicles will have not yet washed away from the surface of the road, forming a slippery mixture with the water.

17. There is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic:

On the highway.

At intersections.

On rural roads.

Intersections present the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other vehicles. Motorcyclists should exercise caution when approaching an intersection.

18. When being passed by another vehicle, you should travel in:

The left portion of the lane.

The center portion of the lane.

The right portion of the 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.

19. To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should:

Not use turn signals.

Use proper lane positions.

Follow other vehicles closely.

To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should make yourself visible, communicate your intentions to others, maintain adequate space cushions, search your path of travel at least 12 seconds ahead, identify and separate hazards, and be prepared to react to changing conditions.

20. When entering a turn, it is best to:

Use only the front brake.

Use only the rear brake.
