19. When downshifting, you should:

Shift through multiple gears at a time.

Shift through one gear at a time.

Always shift all the way down to neutral first.

Accelerate.

When shifting into a lower gear, shift down one gear at a time and ease out the clutch through the friction zone between each downshift.

20. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?

Intersections

Highways

Parking lots

Residential areas

The greatest potential for conflict between your motorcycle and other traffic is at intersections. Be extra alert when riding somewhere where another vehicle may cross in front of your path of travel.

21. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes immediately.

Grip the handlebars firmly and gradually close the throttle.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

22. If you are unable to avoid hitting an object in the roadway, you should:

Speed up before contact.

Slow down before contact.

Lean the motorcycle.

Stay seated on the motorcycle.

If you cannot avoid hitting an obstacle in the roadway, you should try to hit it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can before contact, keep your motorcycle upright, rise slightly off of your seat, and roll the throttle slightly to lighten the front end just before impact.

23. When loading cargo onto a motorcycle, you should:

Pack heavier items in front of the tank bag.

Pack lighter items near the front.

Try to not place items over the rear axle.

Place items behind the rear axle.

Heavier items should be loaded in front of the tank bag. You should try to place the load over or in front of the rear axle. Putting the load behind the rear axle may affect your control.

24. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Helps protect your whole face.

Does not protect your face as well as goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your whole face in a crash. While goggles can protect your eyes, they won't protect the rest of your face. A windshield is not a substitute for a face shield or goggles.

25. A face shield:

Provides protection for the eyes and face.

Is not recommended.

Is required.

Does not protect the face as well as goggles.

A plastic, impact-resistant face shield provides the greatest degree of protection for a wearer's eyes and face. Eyeglasses or sunglasses are not an adequate substitute. In Vermont, you are not legally required to wear eye or face protection if your motorcycle has a windshield, though it is recommended.
