13. A helmet will not provide the best possible protection:

If it is certified by the DOT.

If it fits snugly.

If it is free of defects.

If it has cracks.

A helmet should meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards and fit snugly all the way around to provide maximum protection. It should be free of defects such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

14. Use your mirrors when stopped at an intersection:

To see if vehicles parked on the sides of the street are entering traffic.

To look for vehicles changing lanes.

To watch for vehicles behind you that may not be slowing down.

To see if someone is planning to turn behind you.

When you are stopped at an intersection, use your mirrors to check for cars approaching you from behind. The drivers may not notice you until they are too close and you may need to react.

15. You should use a larger cushion of space:

When roads are slippery.

When it is sunny outside.

When it is colder than usual.

When you are following other motorcycles.

A two-second following distance is generally appropriate. Allow a larger cushion of space when riding under conditions that will increase your stopping distance, such as when the road surface is icy or wet.

16. Usually, a good way to handle tailgaters is to:

Change lanes and let them pass.

Come to a complete stop.

Speed up to put distance between you and the tailgater.

Ignore them.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by causing them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

17. How can a motorcycle operator discourage lane sharing by other drivers?

By giving dirty looks to other drivers

By riding in the center portion of the lane

By riding in the left portion of the lane

By riding in a zigzag pattern

By riding in the center portion of your lane, you will ensure that there is not a large space on either side of your motorcycle. Minimizing those spaces can help deter drivers from trying to share the lane with you.

18. When riding in a group, it is best to put inexperienced riders near the front because:

Experienced riders can more easily keep an eye on them.

They will get lost if they are leading.

They may slow the group down as the leaders.

They will ride too fast in any other position.

In a group, less experienced riders should ride toward the front, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can easily watch them.
