Small vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This phenomenon can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge the location and speed of a smaller vehicle.

24. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

You may prevent another vehicle from passing you.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.

25. Of the following, which should you not do to improve your safety when riding at night?

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Use your high beam headlight whenever possible.

Increase your following distance.

To ride safely at night, you should reduce your speed, use your high beam headlight when you are not riding near other vehicles, and increase your following distance. Take advantage of vehicles ahead of you to provide clues about the upcoming road. Their headlights may help to illuminate the road ahead and their taillights will bounce up and down if the vehicle is being driven over bumps on the road.
