19. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Increase your speed.

Exit the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Ride in the center of the lane.

The center of a lane can be especially hazardous when wet. When it begins to rain, avoid the center of the road by riding in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track is often the best option.

20. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

21. Maximum front-line braking is accomplished by:

Using the rear brake only.

Using the front brake only.

Using both brakes.

Using the rear brake while downshifting.

Maximum straight-line braking is accomplished by fully applying both the front and rear brakes without locking either wheel. You should always use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

22. When turning left, you should:

Press the right handgrip.

Press the left handgrip.

Press both handgrips at the same time.

Not press either handgrip.

A motorcycle must lean to make a turn. To make it lean in the appropriate direction, press the handgrip in the direction you want to turn.

23. If you find your motorcycle being chased by a dog, you should:

Swerve around the animal.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Ride alongside the animal.

Approach the animal 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.

24. When you park a motorcycle next to a curb, it should be:

Parked at a 90-degree angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

Parked at a 45-degree angle with the front tire touching the curb.

Parked like a car, with the front and rear wheels the same distance from the curb.

Parked at the left edge of the parking space so approaching drivers can more easily see the motorcycle.

When parking a motorcycle next to a curb, you should create at a 90-degree angle with the curb by touching your rear wheel to the curb.

25. In a slow, tight turn, the rider should:

Counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping their body upright.

Lean at the same angle as the motorcycle.

Lean in the opposite direction of the motorcycle and the turn.

Counterbalance their leaning body by keeping the motorcycle upright.

When taking normal turns, lean at the same angle as your motorcycle. However, in slow, tight turns, you should counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping your body upright.
