You are better able to draft off of other vehicles.

You will be able to stop quickly.

4. Which of the following colors should you wear to increase your visibility when riding during the day?

Brown

You should wear brightly-colored clothing when riding to maximize your chances of being seen. Bright oranges, reds, yellows, and greens are best. Most collisions occur in broad daylight, so be sure to wear bright clothing even when riding during the day.

5. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Invite other road users into your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

6. If you have a passenger aboard your motorcycle, you should do all of the following, except:

Ride at speeds that are slower than usual.

Allow more distance to stop than usual.

Tell the passenger to hold onto the back of the bike.

A motorcycle that is carrying a passenger will handle differently than usual due to the added weight of the additional rider. An operator should ride at slower speeds and allow more time and distance to slow down and stop. A passenger should hold firmly and securely onto the motorcycle's passenger handgrips or onto the operator's waist, hips, or midsection.

7. When should you not flash your brake light?

When you are slowing down more quickly than others would expect

When you are slowing down where others won’t expect it

When people are walking on a nearby sidewalk

A motorcycle's brake light is less noticeable than the two larger brake lights of a car. For this reason, it is helpful to get the attention of others by flashing your brake light before slowing where they may not expect it. It is also recommended that motorcyclists flash their brake lights before slowing more quickly than other drivers may expect.
