1. When being passed, it is usually best for motorcyclists to be in which part of the lane?

The right

The center

The left

If you are being passed either from behind or by an oncoming vehicle, stay in the center portion of your lane. Riding any closer to the passing driver could place you both in a hazardous situation.

2. 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.

3. When at an intersection, eye contact with an oncoming driver:

Is a good way to know that the driver sees you.

Does not mean that the driver sees you.

Is required before proceeding through the intersection.

You should never count on eye contact as an assurance that a driver sees your motorcycle. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at motorcyclists and still fail to notice them.

4. Which of the following is not a benefit of maintaining a cushion of space between your motorcycle and other vehicles?

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

You have space to maneuver.

You have limited escape route options.

Maintaining a space cushion helps to ensure that you will have enough time to react to the movements of others and enough room to maneuver safely.

5. Which of the following is not a common type of a helmet?

One-half

Three-quarter

Full-face

The two main types of helmets are three-quarter and full-face helmets. Full-face helmets offer the best protection to motorcyclists.

6. If your rear wheel locks up while you are stopping on a straightaway:

You can usually maintain control of the motorcycle.

You will likely lose control of the motorcycle.

You will need to release the rear brake to regain control of the motorcycle.

If you accidentally lock your rear wheel while stopping on a straightaway, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you can usually control your motorcycle if it is upright and traveling in a straight line.

7. When riding at night:

Ride on the shoulder of the road.

Decrease your following distance.

Increase your following distance.

When riding at night, you should increase your following distance. Slow down and be flexible about your lane position.
