24. When riding in a group on a straight road, motorcyclists should:

Ride in a single-file formation.

Pair up.

Stagger their formation.

Riding in a staggered formation is the best way to keep group ranks close while maintaining adequate space cushions for each individual rider. Motorcyclists should move into a single-file formation when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or leaving a roadway.

25. When riding a motorcycle, it is important to:

Focus only on what is in front of you.

Focus only on what is behind you.

Know what’s happening both in front of and behind you.

While it is most important to be aware of what is ahead of you on the road, you cannot ignore what is behind you. You can keep track of the situation behind you by checking your mirrors consistently.

26. If you must brake and swerve to avoid danger, you should:

Use only the front brake while swerving.

Brake and swerve at the same time.

Either brake then swerve or swerve then brake.

If a hazard requires you to brake and swerve, you should take these actions separately. Never brake while swerving because doing so can cause your motorcycle to fall over.

27. Service signs are:

Orange with black letters.

Blue with white letters.

Green with white letters.

Signs that are blue with white markings indicate the locations of services. These services may include rest areas, gas stations, food options, and hospitals.

28. A good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Speed up.

Allow them to get in front of you.

Make gestures at them.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to allow them to pass you. Speeding up may only result in them continuing to tailgate you at the higher speed, which is even more dangerous.

29. To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should:

Not use turn signals.

Use proper lane positions.

Follow other vehicles closely.

To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should make yourself visible, communicate your intentions to others, maintain adequate space cushions, search your path of travel at least 12 seconds ahead, identify and separate hazards, and be prepared to react to changing conditions.

30. A motorcyclist may not place a toll road transponder:

On the windshield of their motorcycle.

In their pocket.

Under their seat.

There are five locations where it is permissible to place a transponder or other electronic toll payment device, provided that toll readers can detect it. A transponder may be placed in a motorcyclist's pocket, inside a cycle net draped across the gas tank of the motorcycle, on a license plate device, in a storage compartment on the motorcycle, or on the windshield of the motorcycle.
