22. A benefit of keeping a cushion of space between you and surrounding vehicles is that:

You are better able to draft off of other vehicles.

You will be able to stop quickly.

You will have more time to react to the movements of other drivers.

It is important to maintain a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times. This way, if a hazard arises, you will have more time to respond to the hazard and more space to safely maneuver.

23. The oily strip down the center of a lane:

Should only be traveled upon if you are sharing the lane with another vehicle.

Usually provides adequate traction for riding, unless it is raining.

Should be avoided at all times.

While the center strip of the road can be oily, it usually provides enough traction for safe riding, unless it is raining. The oily strip is usually no more than two feet wide, so motorcyclists can generally ride on either side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

24. Most motorcycle/automobile accidents occur:

At intersections.

On the open road.

In parking lots.

Most collisions between motorcycles and automobiles take place at intersections. The most common cause of these accidents is the automobile operator failing to properly yield the right-of-way to the motorcyclist.

25. If using saddlebags to carry a load, you should:

Load the bags as evenly as possible.

Unevenly distribute weight into the saddlebags.

Place as much weight as possible into one saddlebag.

Saddlebags should be loaded with approximately equal weights. If a load is distributed unevenly between bags, it may cause the motorcycle to drift to one side.

26. When changing lanes:

Your mirrors can adequately show you your surroundings.

Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors.

Activate your turn signal and immediately move to the right or left.

Like any vehicle, motorcycles have blind spots. In addition to using your mirrors, you must always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

27. Most motorcycle crashes occur:

In broad daylight.

At dusk.

At night.

Most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight. Wearing bright colors and reflective materials is always recommended when riding, even during the day.

28. How can you get sober after drinking alcohol?

Wait.

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

The only way to sober up after drinking is to give your body the time it needs to remove the alcohol. There are no techniques that will speed up this process.

29. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should do all of the following, except:

Scan your path ahead.

Be ready to act to avoid a hazard.

Turn your headlight off during the day.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

30. A motorcyclist should continually scan the road ahead for:

Road conditions.

Traffic conditions.

Escape routes.

All of the above.

Scan the road ahead to remain alert to changing traffic conditions, hazardous road conditions, and escape routes. Be prepared to react to any changing conditions.
