7. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.

8. If your motorcycle is being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick the dog away.

Ride alongside the dog.

Stop until the dog loses interest.

Approach the dog slowly, then speed up.

If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind. If you encounter a larger animal, brake and prepare to stop.

9. When being passed by another vehicle, you should:

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the center portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Try to get onto the shoulder.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side of the lane nearest the passing driver increases the danger of a collision, and riding on the side farthest from the passing driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.

Slow or stop

Left turn

Right turn

Backing up

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is bent at the elbow and pointing downward, it means the operator plans to slow down or stop.

11. The front brake supplies approximately how much of a motorcycle's potential stopping power?

About 25 percent

About 50 percent

About 70 percent

About 95 percent

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. The front brake supplies at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power.

12. When following a car, usually the best portion of the lane to ride in is:

The left portion.

The center portion.

The right portion.

The left or right portions.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.
