19. Helmeted riders are ________ more likely to survive than those not wearing helmets at the time of a crash.

Explanation
At any speed, wearing a helmet will make you three times more likely to survive head injuries in the event of a crash than you would if not wearing a helmet.

20. Making eye contact with another driver:

Explanation
You should never take eye contact with another driver as a guarantee that they will properly yield the right-of-way to you.

21. Most motorcycles:

Explanation
Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

22. Maintain an adequate following distance behind other vehicles:

Explanation
Maintaining an adequate following distance ensures that you will have enough space to stop or swerve out of the way if the vehicle ahead of you stops suddenly. A space cushion also provides you with a better view of any hazards on the road surface, such as potholes.

23. If you wait one hour to ride after having one alcoholic drink:

Explanation
On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

24. On which of the following surfaces does a motorcycle have the best traction?

Explanation
A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

25. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

Explanation
When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.
