13. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Use your turn signals to indicate that you plan to change lanes.

Tailgate other drivers.

Keep your eyes focused no more than 15 feet in front of your motorcycle.

Not use a headlight during the day.

To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should make yourself visible, communicate your intentions to others, maintain adequate space cushions, search your path of travel at least 12 seconds ahead, identify and separate hazards, and be prepared to react to changing conditions.

14. When preparing to pass a vehicle on the left, it is important to ride on the left side of your lane because:

The right side could be slippery.

It will give you the best chance of spotting hazards in the next lane.

People don’t usually expect to be passed on their left.

It will place you in the rearview mirror of the car in front of you.

When preparing to pass on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. This lane position will increase your line of sight and make your more visible to oncoming traffic.

15. To swerve correctly:

Shift your weight quickly.

Turn the handlebars quickly.

Press the handgrip in the direction of the turn.

Press the handgrip in the direction opposite of the turn.

To execute a swerve, press the handgrip on the side of your desired turn. Press on the opposite handgrip to return to your original direction after you are clear of the hazard.

16. If a tire goes flat while riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handgrips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires fails, hold the handgrips firmly and begin to slow down by easing off the throttle while maintaining a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is still good, if you are sure of which tire that is. Edge toward the side of the road as you slow down, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

17. The front brake can provide how much of a motorcycle's braking power?

10 percent

25 percent

50 percent

75 percent

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. It can provide at least three-quarters of the motorcycle's total stopping power.

18. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes gradually.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Trying to accelerate out of a wobble is dangerous and will only make your motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly (without trying to fight the wobble), gradually close the throttle to slow down, and move your weight as far forward and downward as possible. Pull off the road as soon as you can.
