24. 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.

25. To properly control a motorcycle, you should:

Allow your feet to hang off the footrests.

When riding, you should be positioned so that you are able to easily operate all controls. Sit with your arms slightly bent and use your arms to steer rather than to hold up your body. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance during turns.

Means that they see you.

Doesn’t mean that they will properly yield to you.
