1. What does this sign mean?

Slippery when wet

Yield

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that the roadway ahead is likely to be slippery when wet.

2. To reduce the chances of a collision, a motorcyclist should:

Stare straight in front of their motorcycle.

Be unwilling to move to avoid a potential hazard.

Scan their path of travel, looking at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of their motorcycle.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a collision, consistently scan your path of travel at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your motorcycle. Scanning the road ahead will give you time to react to a hazard before meeting the hazard.

3. When braking on a motorcycle:

The rear brake should be applied first.

The front brake should be applied first.

The front and rear brakes should be applied at the same time.

Use both brakes every time you slow down or stop. If you use only the rear brake when stopping normally, you may not develop the habit or the skill to use the front brake properly when you really need to stop quickly.

4. If your rear wheel locks up while you are stopping on a surface with good traction, you should:

Keep the wheel locked until you have stopped completely.

Release the rear brake and only use the front brake.

Release the rear brake and then quickly re-apply the brake.

If you accidentally lock the rear wheel while stopping on a surface with good traction, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you can control your motorcycle if it is upright and traveling in a straight line.

5. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is:

Safe because you are in a separate lane.

Recommended because it blocks the wind.

Not recommended because you may be in the driver's blind spot.

It is not advisable to ride beside passenger vehicles or trucks. Doing so may place you in another vehicle's blind spot and the driver could move into your lane without realizing you are there.

6. If you need to react to a hazard in the road, do not:

Avoid communicating with other drivers.

Adjust your speed accordingly.

Make your presence known by sounding your horn and/or using lights or signals.

To create more space and minimize the harm of any hazard, communicate your presence to other road users by using your horn, lights, and/or signals. Adjust your speed to be appropriate for the situation and adjust your lane position and/or direction of travel as needed.
