13. A danger of riding next to a row of parked cars is:

You may not find a parking spot.

A driver may unexpectedly pull out from the row into your path.

Others may be driving slowly while looking for a parking spot.

The road may be uneven.

Riding next to parked cars presents a number of potential dangers. A driver might pull out of parking space and into your path without looking. Car doors may be opened into your lane and pedestrians may step out from between cars.

14. To provide the best protection to the wearer, boots or shoes should:

Be made of a soft material.

Have long laces that are not tucked in.

Cover the ankle and provide support.

Have tall heels.

For riding, choose boots or heavy shoes that are tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Heels should be low so that they won't catch on rough surfaces. Tuck in long laces so that they don't catch on the motorcycle's moving parts.

15. Which of the following types of footwear is best for a motorcycle operator?

Sturdy boots

Tennis shoes

Shoes with loose laces

Sandals

Sturdy boots or shoes that are high enough to support the ankles can provide the best protection for motorcyclists. Laced up boots are best, but high-top boots or heavy shoes are fine. If a motorcyclist wears shoes that have long laces, they should be sure to securely tuck the laces away before riding.

16. An adequate cushion of space between your motorcycle and other vehicles:

Allows you time to react if another driver makes a mistake.

Keeps you in a single area of the lane, limiting your movement.

Allows you to rely on others to identify hazards.

Requires you go faster to stay with traffic.

Maintaining a cushion of space on all sides of your motorcycle helps to ensure that you have time and space to react if another road user makes a mistake.

17. Which of the following does not need to be checked regularly?

The brakes

The fasteners

The tires

The paint

Before every ride, you should check your motorcycle's tires, controls, chains, sprockets, shock absorbers, fasteners, and brakes. A small mechanical issue on a motorcycle can be extremely dangerous in traffic.

18. When it is obvious that you are going to turn, you:

Do not need to use a turn signal.

Should still use a turn signal.

Only need to use a turn signal if there are nearby pedestrians.

Only need to use a turn signal if you are at a stop light.

You must use proper turn signals every time you turn or change lanes, even if you think your intentions are obvious. Signals are always important, even if no one else seems to be around to see them. There may be other vehicles nearby that you can't see or haven't yet noticed.
