19. Hearing protection is:

Not needed if you wear a helmet.

Needed in addition to a helmet.

Only needed on windy days.

Not needed if you are carrying a passenger.

Exposure to engine and wind noise can damage your hearing, even if you are wearing a helmet. Hearing protection can guard against this while still allowing you to hear essential sounds like horns and sirens.

20. It is important to flash your brake light when:

You are tired while riding.

You will be slowing where other drivers won't expect it.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals are not working.

Motorcycle brake lights are more difficult to see than the brake lights of larger vehicles, so flashing your brake light may help other drivers to notice it. You should flash you brake light before slowing down where other drivers may not expect you to slow down, such as in the middle of a block or when approaching an alley.

21. Why should you use both the front and rear brakes every time you slow or stop?

Using only one brake will cause the brakes to wear unevenly.

It develops good braking habits for emergency situations.

Using both brakes is the only way to slow down a motorcycle.

The brakes only work when both are applied.

Using both brakes even in normal stopping stops will help you develop the habit of always using both. Having this habit will serve you well in emergencies, where using both brakes may be critical.

22. A driver making eye contact with you:

Means that they see you.

Will never happen.

Does not mean that they will properly yield to you.

Guarantees that they will properly yield to you.

You should never count on eye contact to guarantee that a driver will yield to you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist but fail to consciously notice them.

23. Riding on the far side of a lane when following another vehicle:

Is recommended because you will be seen easily.

Is not recommended because drivers seldom use their side mirrors and may not see you.

Is recommended because a passenger in the vehicle may tell the driver that you are there.

Is illegal because you have to ride in the center portion of the lane.

Most drivers do not look at their side mirrors as often as they look at their rearview mirror. Therefore, when following a car, it is generally best to ride in the center portion of the lane where you are most likely to be visible in the driver's rearview mirror.

24. When in traffic, motorcycles need:

Much less distance to stop than cars.

Less distance to stop than cars.

As much distance to stop as cars.

More distance to stop than cars.

In traffic, a motorcycle needs as much distance to stop as a car does.

25. When following another vehicle as a beginning rider, you should:

Maintain a minimum four-second following distance.

Get as close to the other vehicle as possible.

Never be concerned about your following distance.

Always ride in the left portion of the lane so the driver can easily see you.

A following distance of at least four seconds is recommended for beginning riders. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.
