1. How can you discourage another vehicle from sharing your lane?

Ride in the middle of your lane.

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Swerve from side to side in your lane.

To discourage automobile drivers from trying to share your lane, ride in the center portion of the lane.

2. The middle portion of the lane usually contains an oily strip. You should:

Try to avoid the oily strip when it is raining.

Ride only on the oily strip, as it provides increased traction.

Avoid the entire center portion of the lane.

Not worry about oil or other items in a lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks build up in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this strip usually still provides enough traction more a motorcycle to operate safely. The strip is generally narrow enough that you can ride to either side of it and still be in the center portion of the lane.

3. When riding in a lane of traffic, a motorcycle operator:

Should always ride in the same part of the lane.

Should vary their lane position according to riding conditions.

Should always ride in the center of the lane.

Should always ride in the left part of the lane.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. Vary your lane position based on changing road and traffic conditions.

4. Which of the following should you inspect during a pre-ride check?

The general wear and tread of your tires

The amount of cushion your seat has

The shine of your paint

The wind direction

Before setting off on any ride, you should do a thorough check of your motorcycle. Inspect the tires, oil and fluid levels, headlight, tail light, turn signals, brake light, clutch and throttle, mirrors, brakes, and horn.

5. When approaching a blind intersection with a stop sign, riders should:

Stop at the stop sign then proceed through the intersection.

Ignore the stop sign and move forward to get a better look.

Stop at the stop sign before moving forward to improve their view of cross traffic.

Proceed through the intersection without stopping.

When approaching a blind intersection that is controlled by a stop line or stop sign, you must first stop where indicated. You may then edge forward and stop again just short of where the cross traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is approaching. Make sure your front wheel stays out of the crossroad while you are looking.

6. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

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