19. Signals on a motorcycle:

Serve little purpose since motorcycles are smaller than most other vehicles.

Are very important to alert other motorists to a rider's intentions.

Should not be used if no vehicles are close to the motorcycle.

Are more complicated than those on a car.

You are especially vulnerable as a motorcyclist, so it is very important to use your turn signals to alert others to your intentions. Always use them any time that you plan to change lanes or turn, even if you don't think anyone else is nearby.

20. A good way to handle tailgaters is to:

Change lanes and let them pass.

Ignore them.

Use your horn and make obscene gestures.

Speed up to put distance between you and the tailgater.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to change lanes and let them pass you. Speeding up may cause them to tailgate you at a higher speed, only increasing the danger.

21. Most motorcycles:

Have only a front brake.

Have only a rear brake.

Have brakes in both the front and rear.

Have three brakes: one in the front, one in the rear, and an emergency brake.

Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

22. When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcycle operator should be prepared for:

Open parking spaces.

A motorist to unexpectedly pull out of a parking space and into traffic.

Parking meters.

Other motorists to see the motorcycle and stay out of its way.

When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcyclist should be prepared for a parked car to suddenly pull out of a parking space and into traffic. It is often safest for a motorcyclist to ride in the left portion of their lane when passing a row of parked cars on their right to create the most possible space between their motorcycle and any potential hazards.

23. Which of the following is a good color to wear to be seen?

Orange

Black

Brown

Deep blue

Orange, red, yellow, or green clothing can make you easier to see while riding a motorcycle. Wear brightly-colored clothing no matter what time of day you are riding.

24. What can you do to increase your chances of being seen at an intersection?

Ride while using your headlight.

Swerve within your lane to draw attention to your motorcycle.

Raise your arms.

Avoid using your brakes.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, use your headlight and ride in a lane position that creates the best view of oncoming traffic. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle that allows you to take evasive action.

25. To provide the best protection, a helmet should:

Have a few cracks.

Not be certified.

Have frayed straps.

Fit snugly.

To ensure you are getting the best protection, you should choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. It should fit you snugly all the way around and have no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.
