22. To reduce the chances of a collision, you should:

Wear bright or reflective clothing.

Change lanes frequently.

Focus only on your riding, not on your surroundings.

Wearing bright or reflective clothing can help make you more visible to other drivers and reduce your risk of being involved in a collision. Always maintain an awareness of surrounding drivers to better prepare yourself for their movements.

23. When being passed from behind, which portion of the lane should you ride in?

Right

Center

Left

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.

24. Before starting a turn, a motorcyclist should change gears to:

Prevent a change in power in the middle of the turn.

Be able to keep both hands on the handle grips during the turn.

Prevent the motorcycle from slowing down.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. Shifting gears while in the turn can cause a sudden change in power to the rear wheel, causing a skid. If you must change gears while in a turn, change gears smoothly to best prevent skidding.

25. One problem with a motorcyclist riding directly next to another vehicle is that:

The other vehicle may block the motorcyclist's escape route.

The motorcyclist can be easily seen by other drivers.

The motorcyclist may not be able to read signs on the side of the road.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because the vehicle could veer into your lane and sideswipe you. Additionally, the vehicle could block your escape route if a hazard arises.

26. There may be less traction available for braking when:

A motorcycle is leaning.

A motorcycle is straight up and down.

A motorcycle is on dry pavement.

Any time a motorcycle is leaning, such as in a turn or curve, there is less traction available for braking. Both brakes may still be used while a motorcycle is turning, but it must be done with great care.

27. When riding a motorcycle, your lane position:

Has little impact on whether or not other drivers can see you.

Is very important because it may affect whether or not other drivers can see you.

Cannot protect you from wind blasts from other vehicles.

An appropriate lane position can increase your ability to see and be seen. Being properly positioned in a lane can also help you avoid blasts of wind coming off of surrounding vehicles.

28. Noise created by wind:

Is easy to get used to.

May cause irreversible hearing damage.

Is never a danger.

Long-term exposure to wind noise can permanently damage your hearing. Using proper ear plugs or other hearing protection when riding is recommended.

29. To be effective, eye or face shield protection must:

Fasten securely.

Restrict your vision to the sides so you can focus on the road ahead.

Not allow eyeglasses or sunglasses to be worn.

To be effective, an eye or face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through to prevent fogging; and allow room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.

30. 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.
