19. To make a quick stop on wet pavement, you should:

Use only the front brake.

Use only the rear brake.

Use both brakes.

Use both brakes if you must make a quick stop on a slippery surface. The front brake is safe to use on a slippery surface if applied gradually to prevent locking.

20. If the front wheel locks, you should:

Continue to hold the brake and the skid should end.

Release the front brake and not use the front brake.

Release the front brake and then quickly squeeze the front brake.

Release the front brake immediately and re-apply the front brake smoothly.

If your front wheel locks, immediately and completely release the front brake. Re-apply the brake smoothly.

21. If the road is wet, you should avoid:

The left portion of a lane.

The center portion of the lane.

The right portion of the lane.

All areas of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks collect in a strip in the center portion of a lane. This strip usually still provides enough traction for motorcyclists to operate safely, except when the road is wet. The strip is usually narrow enough that you can ride to its side and still be in the center portion of the lane.

22. Keep an expanded cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you:

When conditions will make stopping more difficult than usual.

When you want to look at the scenery.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

To prevent the driver in front of you from knowing you are there.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a larger following distance.

23. Where is the front brake lever usually located?

On the left handgrip

On the right handgrip

By the left foot peg

By the right foot peg

The front brake lever is generally located on the right handgrip. Make sure that you are aware of the locations of all your motorcycle's controls before beginning to ride.

24. When you ride a motorcycle, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look through turns.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go by turning only your head. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance while turning. Your arms should be slightly bent any time you are holding the handgrips.

25. When should the front brake be used?

Any time the rider is slowing or stopping

Only when slowing or stopping on slippery roads

Only when slowing or stopping in an emergency

Only when slowing or stopping in traffic

A rider should always use both brakes every time they slow or stop.
