22. Which of the following is not a safe step in preventing fatigue while riding?

Protecting yourself from the elements

Taking artificial stimulants

Limiting the distance ridden in one day

Taking frequent breaks

When taking a long trip, be sure to schedule in frequent breaks to rest and try not to ride more than six hours in one day. Wind, cold, and rain can make you tire quickly, so be sure to dress to protect yourself from the elements. Avoid taking artificial stimulants, as the effects when they wear off can be very dangerous.

23. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handle grips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat, hold both handle grips firmly, ease off of the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is). As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

24. Passing and being passed when riding a motorcycle is not much different than when driving a car. However:

A motorcycle's visibility is more critical than that of a car.

A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

25. If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, you should:

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Tighten your hold on the handle grips and increase your speed to get past the hazard.

Travel in a zigzag motion.

Ride on the shoulder instead of on the grooves.

The weaving motion that occurs when a motorcycle rides over rain grooves or bridge gratings is generally not dangerous. If you experience weaving when riding over one of these surfaces, simply relax and proceed straight across the grooves or gratings at a steady speed. Trying to compensate for the weaving motion by zigzagging is more dangerous than riding straight.

26. Reflective clothing should:

Never be worn.

Be worn only during the day.

Be worn only at night.

Be worn day and night.

Most motorcycle crashes occur in broad daylight. Increasing your visibility by wearing bright colors and reflective materials is a good idea at all times.

27. If hazards are on your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of the lane.

In the right portion of the lane.

In any portion of the lane.

On the shoulder.

When hazards exist to your left, it is often best to ride in the right portion of the lane. Be prepared to adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change.

28. Which type of sign is yellow with black lettering or symbols?

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

29. Drivers on an entrance ramp may not see you on the highway. What should you do to help an entering driver merge safely?

Stay in your lane, as it is not your responsibility to be seen.

Change to a lane away from the entrance ramp, if possible.

Move to the shoulder.

Weave within your lane to be more obvious to the entering driver.

To reduce the risk of a collision, always allow merging vehicles plenty of space to safely enter traffic. Change lanes away from the entrance ramp if there is room to do so safely. If there isn't another lane available, adjust your speed to open up space for the merging driver.

30. When approaching railroad tracks that cross your lane at an angle, it is usually:

Safest to ride straight within your lane to cross the tracks.

Dangerous to ride straight within your lane to cross the tracks.

Not safe to cross tracks on a motorcycle.

Safest to cross the tracks by riding on the shoulder of the road.

When approaching railroad tracks that cross your lane at an angle, it is best to simply cross the tracks while riding straight within your lane. Turning to cross the tracks at a 90-degree angle could be dangerous because you could end up crossing into another lane of traffic.
