19. Proper clothing for riding offers all of the following, except:

Comfort.

Protection in a collision.

Protection from the cold.

Discomfort.

Proper clothing for riding can help protect you from injury in the event of a collision. It can also protect against routine hazards and discomforts, such as hot or cold weather.

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

In the front of the group.

Just behind the leader.

Close to the back of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

In a group of motorcyclists, less experienced riders should be positioned toward the front, just behind the leader. This ensures that they will not have to chase after the rest of the group. This positioning also allows them to be watched from behind by more experienced riders.

21. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride:

In the front of the group.

Right behind the leader.

At the back of the group.

Wherever they are most comfortable.

When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader near the front of the group. This allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from the back of the group.

22. A motorcyclist can discourage other vehicles from lane sharing by:

Riding in the left portion of a lane.

Riding in the center portion of a lane.

Giving dirty looks if another driver moves into their lane.

Riding in a zigzag pattern to fill up a lane.

Any time a driver may be tempted to try to squeeze into your lane next to you, ride in the center portion of the lane to discourage them from doing so.

23. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle operator?

The left position in the lane

The center position in the lane

The right position in the lane

There is no single lane position that is best for all situations.

There is no lane position that is always best and no lane position that should always be avoided. Select a lane position that is appropriate for your current riding conditions, allowing you to maintain an adequate space cushion and be visible to others.

24. Most motorcycles have rounded, or convex, mirrors. These mirrors:

Are easy to get used to right away.

Make cars seem closer than they actually are.

Provide a narrow view of the road.

Make cars seem farther away than they actually are.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. You should practice judging distances in convex mirrors if you are not used to them.

25. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Avoid other drivers' blind spots.

Avoid surface hazards.

Prevent access to an escape route.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.
