1. To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, you should:

Try to make eye contact with other drivers.

Ride with your headlight on.

Reduce your space cushion.

Ride in a weaving pattern.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, leave your headlight turned on and ride in a lane position that most easily allows oncoming traffic to see you. Maintain a space cushion that allows you to take evasive action if necessary. Never assume that another driver sees you, even if you make eye contact with the driver.

2. In which of the following situations should you increase your following distance?

Traffic is light.

Traffic is heavy.

You are able to see the roadway through vehicles in front of you.

There is pleasant and clear weather.

While a two-second following distance is generally adequate, you should increase your following distance any time conditions would require a longer stopping distance, such as when the pavement is slippery due to poor weather conditions. Additionally, you should increase your following distance at night, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead, and when traffic is heavy.

3. Under ideal conditions, you should maintain a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Under normal conditions, you should maintain a minimum two-second following distance. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

4. When riding downhill on a motorcycle with a sidecar:

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

You cannot stop.

Stopping is about as easy as it is when riding without the sidecar.

Riding with a sidecar increases the weight of a motorcycle and increases the braking force needed to stop the motorcycle. Slowing and stopping take longer when riding a vehicle downhill than when riding on a flat surface.

5. The primary source of information about your motorcycle should come from:

The motorcycle's former owner.

The owner’s manual.

A library book about motorcycles.

A motorcycle enthusiast.

The owner's manual should be your primary source of information about your specific type of motorcycle. Be sure to read the manual before operating your motorcycle for the first time.

6. You will ______ hear a tire going flat.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Seldom

Motorcyclists will seldom hear their tire go flat. Tire failure is more commonly indicated by a sudden change in handling.
