One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Under normal conditions, you should maintain a following distance of at least four seconds. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

20. When riding, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look where you are going.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go by turning only your head. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance while turning. Your arms should be slightly bent any time you are holding the handgrips.

21. Which of the following is a poor reason to sound your horn?

A driver in the lane next to you is too close to the vehicle ahead of them.

A parked car has a person in the driver’s seat.

You want people to look at your motorcycle.

You are passing someone who is in the street.

It is a good idea to sound your horn before riding past a vehicle or pedestrian that may move into your lane. If you see a driver in an adjacent lane driving too closely to the vehicle ahead of them, you may assume that they want to pass and may cut in front of you to do so. If you see a person in the driver's seat of a parked car, or if you see a pedestrian or bicyclist in the street, it is a good idea to sound your horn as you pass.

22. If a friend has been drinking alcohol and wants to drive, which of the following should you not do?

Encourage friends to talk them out of driving.

Arrange for other transportation.

Tell them to take less-crowded roads.

Slow their pace of drinking.

There are several strategies you can use to prevent someone from driving while under the influence of alcohol. You can arrange another way for them to get home, involve them in other activities to slow their pace of drinking, use any available excuse to stop them from leaving before they are sober, and get other friends involved to intervene as a group.

23. When being passed from behind, you should:

Stay in the center portion of the lane.

Stay in the right portion of the lane.

Move onto the shoulder.

Activate your turn signal.

When you are being passed from behind or by an oncoming vehicle, stay in the center portion of your lane. Riding any closer to the passing vehicle can put you in danger.

24. If your front wheel begins to skid, you should:

Keep the front brake engaged and ride out the skid.

Keep the front brake engaged and release the rear brake.

Immediately release and re-engage the front brake.

Release the front brake and increase the pressure on the rear brake.

If your front wheel locks while braking, you should release the front brake immediately and completely before re-applying it smoothly.

25. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In front of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

Beside the leader.

In a group of motorcyclists, riders with less experience should be positioned toward the front of the group, just behind the leader. This will allow more experienced riders to keep an eye on them without forcing the inexperienced rider to lead the group.
