1. When stopping behind a vehicle, you should:

Stop far behind the vehicle, then slowly creep up.

Stay well behind the vehicle.

Make a quick stop right behind the vehicle.

Stay about four car lengths behind the vehicle.

Stay well behind the vehicle in front of you, even if you are both stopped. The vehicle could back up unexpectedly, or you may need space to get out of the way of another vehicle bearing down on you from behind.

2. If operating a three-wheeled motorcycle or riding with a sidecar, do not ride too far to the right of your lane because:

Other drivers may not see you.

You will not be able to pass other vehicles as easily.

Other drivers may try to share your lane.

You may run off the road.

Because a sidecar sits on the right side of a motorcycle, riding too far to the right side of your lane risks the sidecar running off the road. Similarly, on a three-wheeled motorcycle, the rear right wheel may leave the road if you get too close to the right edge.

3. When packing a load on a motorcycle:

The heavier items should go toward the front.

The heavier items should go toward the rear.

Mounting loads behind the rear axle is recommended.

Lighter items should be stored in front of you.

Loads should be positioned forward with heavier items toward the front of the load. Loads should be over or in front of the rear axle. Lighter items should be packed behind you.

4. When riding in a group, the best riding formation is generally:

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

A single-file line.

A pyramid formation.

A staggered formation is generally best when riding in a group. You should move into a single-file line when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or exiting a highway.

5. When riding through a curve, a group of motorcyclists should:

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a side-by-side formation.

Use both lanes if possible.

While a staggered formation is generally recommended, riders in a group should move into a single-file formation when taking curves, taking turns, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

6. When entering a turn, a rider should:

Speed up.

Reduce their speed.

Move their shoulders to match the angle of the turn.

Sit up as high as possible.

Before entering a turn, a motorcyclist should reduce their speed by closing the throttle and, if necessary, applying both brakes.
