17. How far in advance should a motorcyclist signal a turn?

50 feet

100 feet

150 feet

You should signal a left or right turn 100 feet before beginning the turn. This should give surrounding operators time to safely react to your intentions.

18. A benefit of keeping a cushion of space between you and surrounding vehicles is that:

You are better able to draft off of other vehicles.

You will be able to stop quickly.

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

It is important to maintain a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times. This way, if a hazard arises, you will have more time to respond to the hazard and more space to safely maneuver.

19. If another driver makes eye contact with you:

You know that they have seen you.

It doesn’t always mean they've actually seen you.

They will properly yield to you.

You should never rely on eye contact as an assurance that a driver has seen you. It is not uncommon for a driver to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to actually notice them.

20. The best way to stay out of trouble while riding a motorcycle is to:

Look well ahead of your motorcycle.

Avoid high-density traffic areas.

Ride at speeds faster than the speed limit.

To avoid running into dangerous situations while riding, you should consistently scan the road well ahead of your motorcycle. Watch the road ahead to identify and react to potential hazards before meeting them.

21. When buying a motorcycle helmet, you should be most concerned about the helmet's:

Price.

Protection.

Appearance.

Protection should be your first consideration when buying a motorcycle helmet.

22. Smaller vehicles appear to be ________ and slower than they really are.

Farther away

Larger

It can be difficult to judge the speed and distance of a small vehicle, such as a motorcycle. Do not assume that drivers of larger vehicles will be able to accurately understand your speed and location.

23. When wearing a helmet at the time of a crash, a rider is:

Less likely to survive than a person who is not wearing helmet.

Just as likely to survive as a person not wearing a helmet.

More likely to survive than a person not wearing helmet.

No matter the speed, riders who are not wearing helmets are three times more likely to die from head injuries than riders who are wearing helmets at the time of a crash.
