29. If braking in a curve:

Explanation
It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

30. Riding alongside another rider:

Explanation
You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.

31. A skidding rear tire:

Explanation
A skidding rear tire is a dangerous condition that can result in a violent crash and serious injury or death. Too much rear brake pressure can cause the rear wheel to lock. As soon as the rear wheel locks, your ability to change direction is lost. To regain control, the brake must be released.

32. To make a quick stop on wet pavement, you should:

Explanation
Use both brakes if you must make a quick stop on a slippery surface. The front brake is safe to use on a slippery surface if applied gradually to prevent locking.

33. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?

Explanation
The greatest potential for conflict between your motorcycle and other traffic is at intersections. Be extra alert when riding somewhere where another vehicle may cross in front of your path of travel.

34. After drinking, what lessens the effects of alcohol?

Explanation
The liver burns alcohol at a set rate, and there is nothing you can do to speed along the process. The only way to lessen the effects of alcohol is to give your body the time needed to remove it.

35. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Explanation
Trying to accelerate out of a wobble is dangerous and will only make your motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly (without trying to fight the wobble), gradually close the throttle to slow down, and move your weight as far forward and downward as possible. Pull off the road as soon as you can.
