36. When applying the front brake, you should:

Press down on the brake lever with your foot.

37. How can you discourage another vehicle from sharing your lane?

Ride in the middle of your lane.

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Swerve from side to side in your lane.

To discourage automobile drivers from trying to share your lane, ride in the center portion of the lane.

38. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.

39. If the throttle is stuck, you should:

Jump off the motorcycle.

Apply the brakes.

Twist the throttle back and forth several times.

Not try to twist the throttle.

If your throttle becomes stuck, try twisting it back and forth several times. If this does not free your throttle, immediately operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch at the same time.

40. A motorcycle fits you if:

You can reach the footrests while seated.

Your feet can reach the ground while you are seated.

The seat comes up to your knees while you are standing.

You cannot reach the controls while seated.

For a motorcycle to fit you properly, your feet should be able to reach the ground while you are seated. The controls should be easy for you to reach and operate.

41. In hot weather, wearing a riding jacket:

Can help protect against heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Is discouraged because it can cause heat-related problems.

Should only be done if the jacket is a light color.

Is not important.

A riding jacket and long pants should still be worn when riding in hot weather. In addition to their other safety benefits, they can protect a rider from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

42. When being passed from behind, you should:

Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

Use the center portion of your lane.

Use the right portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.
