17. What does this sign mean?

Railroad crossing ahead

Yield

Reduce speed

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that a railroad crossing is ahead.

18. The risk of a head or neck injury is reduced:

By wearing a helmet.

By riding more slowly.

By reading the owner’s manual.

A head or neck injury is always a risk when riding a motorcycle, regardless of your speed of travel. With few exceptions, the risk of head and neck injuries is greatly reduced by properly wearing a quality helmet.

19. When sitting on a motorcycle, you should:

Use your arms to hold up your body.

Sit at an angle so your arms can support your weight.

Sit so you can use your arms to control the motorcycle.

Sit with a posture that allows you to use your arms to control your motorcycle. You should not be positioned in a way that requires your arms to prop up your body and support your weight.

20. Under normal riding conditions, one of the best ways to help others see your motorcycle is:

To flash your lights.

To keep your high beam headlight turned on.

To ensure that your motorcycle is painted a dark color.

The best way to help others see your motorcycle is to have your headlight turned on (as well as your running lights, if applicable). Use your high beam headlight both day and night, whenever it is legal and safe to do so.

21. If you approach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as another vehicle:

The vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.

You should flash your headlight to signal that the other vehicle should proceed.

You should continue through the intersection and expect the other vehicle to stop.

If you approach an intersection that is not marked with signs or traffic lights at the same time as another driver, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

22. Stopping in a turn can be difficult because:

There is decreased traction available for stopping while the bike is leaning.

The rider is usually focused on the turn and not on the braking.

The brake controls do not work in turns.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

23. You have an improved chance of avoiding serious injury in a crash if you wear:

Face or eye protection.

A baseball cap.

Sneakers.

Wearing a helmet is your best defense against injury while riding a motorcycle. Wearing a plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your face from injury in a crash.
