15. If you find yourself riding alongside another vehicle, you should:

Speed up or slow down.

Wave at the other driver.

Stay alongside the vehicle until the next exit and then exit.

Let the other driver worry about it.

Riding directly next to another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. Additionally, the vehicle may block your route of escape if another hazard arises. If you find yourself riding directly alongside another vehicle, either speed up or drop back.

16. When braking, you should:

Always use both brakes.

Only use the front brake.

Only use the rear brake on slippery surfaces, such as wet pavement.

Only use the rear brake.

Use both brakes every time you slow or stop, regardless of the condition of the road.

17. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

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 your following distance.

18. When riding, the best sitting position:

Requires your arms be used to hold you up.

Allows you to easily reach the controls.

Keeps your arms straight when reaching the handle grips.

Keeps your knees away from the gas tank.

When riding, you should be seated in a posture that allows you to use your arms to steer rather than to hold yourself up. You should not have to stretch to reach the handgrips and your arms should be slightly bent when holding them. You should keep your knees against the gas tank to maintain your balance.

19. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes immediately.

Grip the handlebars firmly and gradually close the throttle.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

20. A motorcyclist's cushion of space:

Should always stay the same.

Should vary according to riding conditions.

Is not necessary in most situations.

Should be avoided to keep traffic moving safely.

21. A face shield:

Provides protection for the eyes and face.

Is not recommended.

Is required.

Does not protect the face as well as goggles.

A plastic, impact-resistant face shield provides the greatest degree of protection for a wearer's eyes and face. Eyeglasses or sunglasses are not an adequate substitute. In Vermont, you are not legally required to wear eye or face protection if your motorcycle has a windshield, though it is recommended.
