Passing Score 20

1. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

2. When may you not need to increase your following distance?

When the road is slippery

When there is a lot of traffic

When you can see through the vehicle in front of you

When it is raining

An increased following distance is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a longer following distance.

3. When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcycle operator should be prepared for:

Open parking spaces.

A motorist to unexpectedly pull out of a parking space and into traffic.

Parking meters.

Other motorists to see the motorcycle and stay out of its way.

When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcyclist should be prepared for a parked car to suddenly pull out of a parking space and into traffic. It is often safest for a motorcyclist to ride in the left portion of their lane when passing a row of parked cars on their right to create the most possible space between their motorcycle and any potential hazards.

4. Which fabric provides the best protection for motorcycle riders?

Leather

Denim

Wool

Polyester

Jackets and pants made of leather offer the greatest degree of protection to those riding motorcycles.

5. If your rear wheel locks while braking, you should:

Release the brake until the rear tire regains traction, then re-apply the brake.

Release the brake and only engage the front brake.

Keep it locked until the motorcycle comes to a stop.

Release the brake and coast to a stop.

If your rear wheel locks while braking, do not release the brake. Instead, keep it locked until you come to a full stop.

6. When choosing a helmet, you will get the most protection by using a helmet that:

Fits loosely.

Meets U.S. DOT standards.

Has survived a previous crash.

Provides hearing protection.

To ensure that you are getting as much protection as possible, choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. Helmets should fit snugly all the way around.
