13. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Explanation
If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should perform both actions separately. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake. Do not do both at the same time.

14. The center portion of a lane usually contains an oily strip. This part of the lane is:

Explanation
Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

15. If your front wheel begins to skid, you should:

Explanation
If your front wheel locks while braking, you should release the front brake immediately and completely before re-applying it smoothly.

16. To carry a passenger, you may need to adjust all of the following, except:

Explanation
A motorcycle carrying a passenger will sit differently than usual due to the additional weight. You may need to adjust the tire pressure, suspension, shocks, headlight, and mirrors to compensate for the shift.

17. When planning a long group ride, which of the following ideas should not be implemented?

Explanation
When riding in a group, the length of a route and the lengths of segments of travel should be based on the skill level of the least experienced rider. Groups of riders should take regular breaks to reduce fatigue. Inexperienced riders should be placed behind the leader so more experienced riders can keep an eye on them from behind. It is generally best to ride in a staggered formation.

18. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Explanation
Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.
