1. A sign that your front tire has gone flat is that your steering suddenly feels:

Heavy.

Loose.

Soft.

If steering suddenly feels heavy, it is possible that your front tire has gone flat. Stop riding and check your tires as soon as possible.

2. When riding behind a car, traveling in the center portion of the lane:

Allows you to be seen in its rearview mirror.

Usually makes it difficult for the driver to see you.

Should be avoided.

When following a car, you should ride in a position that allows the driver to see you in their rearview mirror. Usually, that means riding in the center portion of the lane. Because most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than they check their side mirrors, being in this lane position increases the chance that they will see you.

3. When being followed by a tailgater, you should:

Change lanes and let them pass or slow down to allow for more space ahead of your motorcycle.

Ignore them.

Increase your speed.

If you are being followed by a tailgater, you should ride in a way that encourages them to pass you. Riding at a higher speed may only result in them tailgating you at a higher speed, increasing the danger.

4. Pick a lane position that:

Helps you avoid road hazards.

Hides you from other road users.

Places you directly next to another vehicle.

Choose a lane position that helps you avoid road hazards. Make sure you maintain a safe cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times.

5. When approaching a blind intersection, riders should:

Stop at the stop line before moving forward to improve their view of cross traffic.

Ignore the stop line and move forward to get a better look.

Stop at the stop line then proceed through the intersection.

When approaching a blind intersection that is controlled by a stop line or stop sign, you must first stop where indicated. You may then edge forward and stop again just short of where the cross traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is approaching. Make sure your front wheel stays out of the crossroad while you are looking.

6. When riding in a group, the best formation for keeping riders together while maintaining adequate space cushions is generally:

A single-file formation.

Riding in pairs.

A staggered formation.

In general, the best way for a group of motorcyclists to maintain close ranks while still allowing each rider an adequate space cushion is to ride in a staggered formation.
