19. If wearing footwear with laces, the laces:

Should be tucked in.

Should hang loose.

Should be taken off of the footwear.

Should be glued together.

When riding, you should securely tuck in the laces of your footwear so that they will not catch on your motorcycle.

20. The best lane position is:

The one that lets you travel the fastest.

The one that allows you to draft off of other vehicles.

The one that allows you be seen by other motorists.

The one that places you in other vehicles’ blind spots.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise. Choose a lane position that maximizes your space cushion.

21. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Be visible to other drivers.

Keep your intentions unknown from other drivers.

Always stay within a foot of another vehicle.

Ride on the shoulder.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

22. Switching to a lower gear is also known as:

Engine braking.

Acceleration.

Upshifting.

Coasting.

Shifting to a lower gear causes an effect similar to using the brakes. For this reason, downshifting is also known as engine braking.

23. Most crashes occur in broad daylight. To be more visible, you should:

Wear brightly-colored clothing.

Wear darkly-clothing.

Ride without your headlight.

Ride in a weaving pattern.

Because most crashes happen in broad daylight, you should always wear brightly-colored clothing while riding, even during the day.

24. A motorcyclist should:

Pick a favorite portion of the lane and stay in that portion all the time.

Continually weave among the lane positions to keep other drivers out of their lane.

Choose a lane position based on road and traffic conditions.

Not worry about lane position.

There is no one lane position that is always best and no one lane position that should always be avoided. Adjust your lane position in response to changes in road and traffic conditions.

25. Smoothly downshifting on motorcycles:

Is a useless action.

Can allow the rider to engine brake.

Is illegal.

Should not be done if other vehicles are around.

Engine braking by smoothly downshifting can be a useful option for motorcyclists. If you choose to engine brake, apply your brake lights separately to let other drivers know that you are slowing down.
