17. A motorcycle can have no more than:

Two wheels.

Three wheels.

Four wheels.

A motorcycle is defined as a motor vehicle with a seat or saddle for the rider and no more than three wheels.

18. If you will be carrying a passenger on your motorcycle, you will likely have to:

Reduce the tire pressure.

Make no tire pressure adjustments.

Increase the tire pressure.

Because a passenger will place additional weight on your motorcycle, you will probably need to add a few pounds of pressure to your tires before riding. Check your owner's manual for details regarding the appropriate pressure settings to use.

19. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between you and other vehicles?

At intersections

On the highway

On any road

The greatest potential for conflict between motorcycles and other traffic is at intersections. Oncoming cars turning left in front of motorcyclists is the biggest danger.

Right lane ends

Left lane ends

Traffic control device ahead

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that the right lane ends ahead.

21. Whichever style of helmet you choose, you will get the most protection by ensuring that your helmet:

Fits snugly.

Is clean.

Looks cool.

You will get the maximum protection from your helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects.

22. When approaching an intersection, a motorcyclist should not:

Choose a lane position that increases their visibility.

Speed up to cross the intersection quickly.

Cover the clutch and brakes to reduce their reaction time.

As you approach an intersection, select a lane position that will make you the most visible to other drivers and cover the clutch and both brakes to reduce your reaction time. Reduce your speed when approaching an intersection. Avoid changing your speed or position radically as doing so may cause surrounding drivers to misinterpret your intentions.

23. Before starting a turn, a motorcyclist should change gears to:

Prevent a change in power in the middle of the turn.

Be able to keep both hands on the handle grips during the turn.

Prevent the motorcycle from slowing down.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. Shifting gears while in the turn can cause a sudden change in power to the rear wheel, causing a skid. If you must change gears while in a turn, change gears smoothly to best prevent skidding.
