17. When riding a motorcycle, your lane position:

Has little impact on whether or not other drivers can see you.

Is very important because it may affect whether or not other drivers can see you.

Cannot protect you from wind blasts from other vehicles.

An appropriate lane position can increase your ability to see and be seen. Being properly positioned in a lane can also help you avoid blasts of wind coming off of surrounding vehicles.

18. If possible, do not ride directly next to another vehicle because:

Another driver may want to use your lane to pass.

You may be in the vehicle’s blind spot.

You may have access to escape routes.

Riding directly alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you may be in the vehicle's blind spot and the driver will not know you are there. Additionally, the vehicle may block your route of escape if any hazards should arise.

19. If vehicles are present on both sides of you motorcycle, which lane position is usually the best option?

Left

Right

Center

There is no lane position that is always best and no lane position that should always be avoided. A responsible rider will adjust their position as road and traffic conditions warrant. If vehicles are on both the left and right sides of a rider, the center lane position is probably the safest option.

20. When riding during the day, you should:

Wear dark clothes since it is light outside.

Wear bright clothes so other motorists can see you better.

Be comfortable, wearing shorts if it is hot.

Most motorcycle crashes occur in broad daylight. To make yourself more visible to other drivers, you should always wear brightly-colored clothing when riding, even during the day.

21. The best way to stop quickly is to:

Use only your front brake.

Use only your rear brake.

Use both brakes at the same time.

To stop quickly, apply controlled pressure to both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

22. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Wear half-fingered gloves.

Wear full-fingered gloves.

Not wear gloves.

Wearing gloves while riding provides an improved grip and help protect your hands. You should use gloves that are full-fingered and made of a durable material.

23. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is:

Safe because you are in a separate lane.

Recommended because it blocks the wind.

Not recommended because you may be in the driver's blind spot.

It is not advisable to ride beside passenger vehicles or trucks. Doing so may place you in another vehicle's blind spot and the driver could move into your lane without realizing you are there.
