29. What does this signal mean?

Explanation
Signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. When the lead rider's right leg is extended, it means there is a hazard in the roadway on their right side.

30. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Explanation
In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

31. When riding, you should:

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

32. For the best protection, riding gloves should be made of:

Gloves should be made of leather or another durable material to provide proper protection for the wearer.

33. Making eye contact with other drivers:

34. 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.

35. When adjusting your mirrors, you should focus on:
