8. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Explanation
You should not rely on eye contact to guarantee that a driver will yield to you. It is not uncommon for a driver to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to actually notice them.

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

Explanation
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.

10. When going through a turn on a motorcycle, you should:

Explanation
When making a turn, you should look through the turn to where you want to go. Turn just your head, not your shoulders, and keep your eyes level with the horizon.

11. To lean the motorcycle for a turn, you should:

Explanation
A motorcycle needs to lean in order to turn. To make this happen, press on the handgrip in the direction you want to turn.

12. Motorcycle riders:

Explanation
Longterm exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing damage, even if the rider is wearing a full-face helmet. Wearing ear plugs or other hearing protection can guard against damage while still allowing the wearer to hear important sounds like horns and sirens.

13. If you must stop quickly in a curve, you should:

Explanation
If you must stop quickly while in a curve, you should first straighten and square the handlebars, then stop. If straightening your motorcycle is not possible, you should apply the brakes smoothly and gradually, reduce your lean angle, then increase the brake pressure as you slow down.

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

Explanation
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.
