Passing Score 21

1. Riding alongside another rider:

Allows you to maximize the surface of the road.

Should be avoided because it limits your escape routes.

Allows you to communicate with one another.

Makes it easier for other motorists to pass.

You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.

2. When passing another vehicle:

The pass may be completed in a no passing zone.

The rider may travel up to 10 mph over the speed limit to complete the pass.

The pass must be started and completed within a passing zone.

The pass must be completed on the shoulder, if one is present.

Passing must be completed within the posted speed limits, and only in areas where passing is safe and legal.

3. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, it is best to:

Downshift.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Gradually apply your brakes.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

4. Compared to riding during the day, a motorcycle operator who is riding at night should do all of the following, except:

Ride more slowly.

Allow more space between their motorcycle and other vehicles.

Use their high beam whenever possible.

Tailgate other vehicles.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. You should always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night.

5. When riding behind a car, you should:

Ride in a position that will allow the other driver to see you in their rearview mirror.

Assume the driver sees you.

Ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding behind a car, you should position yourself so you can be seen in the other driver's rearview mirror. Riding in the center portion of the lane will generally ensure that you will appear in the middle of their rearview mirror, where the driver is most likely to notice you.

6. When it is likely that other drivers may attempt to squeeze into your lane, you should:

Allow lane sharing.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride on the shoulder.

Riding in the center portion of your lane when traveling in heavy traffic can discourage other drivers from trying to squeeze into your lane next to you. Lane sharing is unsafe and is prohibited by law in Maryland.
