22. When riding with a passenger, you should:
Explanation
Your motorcycle will sit lower than normal under the additional weight of a passenger. To accommodate, you should ride a bit more slowly than usual, particularly when riding through curves, through corners, or over bumps. The extra weight also means that your motorcycle will take longer than usual to speed up, slow down, or stop, so you should maintain a larger space cushion when carrying a passenger.
23. 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.
24. Small vehicles can appear ______ and seem to be traveling ______ than they actually are.
Explanation
Small vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This phenomenon can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge the location and speed of a smaller vehicle.
25. Crashes are more likely to occur among:
Explanation
Crashes are the most likely to occur for untrained, beginning riders who are unfamiliar with their motorcycle.
26. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:
Explanation
A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your whole face if you are involved in a crash. Goggles protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for googles or a face shield.
27. When should your rearview mirror be adjusted?
Explanation
You should clean and adjust both mirrors before starting your motorcycle. Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you.
28. To effectively provide protection for a motorcycle rider, pants should:
Explanation
For your protection, you should wear pants that cover your entire legs and are made of leather or another sturdy synthetic material. Clothing should fit snugly enough that it does not flap in the wind but not so snugly that it restricts your movement.
29. When an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator:
Explanation
Instead of mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.
30. Making eye contact with another driver:
Explanation
Never rely on eye contact as an assurance that a driver will properly yield to you. It is common for drivers to look directly at motorcyclists and still fail to notice them.
