9. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is discouraged because:

You may have a difficult time getting to a highway exit.

You may be in the other vehicle’s blind spot.

You may block the driver's view.

It prevents other drivers from passing both of you.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. The driver may enter your lane without warning if they can't see you. The vehicle will also block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

10. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

11. To reduce your reaction time, you should:

Ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Accelerate before turning.

When approaching a potentially dangerous area, such as an intersection, you should cover the clutch lever and both brakes in order to reduce the amount of time you will need to react to any hazards.

12. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

13. When using a motorcycle with which you are unfamiliar, you should:

Test the seat to make sure it is comfortable.

Assume the motorcycle is in good riding condition.

Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times before riding.

Ride as you usually do, since most bikes are similar.

Since all motorcycles are somewhat different, you should be very careful when using one that is new to you. Familiarize yourself with the motorcycle before setting off. Learn the gear pattern before riding by working the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times.

14. 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.

15. Normally, you should maintain a following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Under normal conditions, you should allow at least two seconds of distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than ideal.

16. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always avoid the left portion of a lane.

Always avoid the right portion of a lane.

Always avoid the center portion of a lane.

Use whichever portion of the lane is safest.

There is no single lane position that you always need to avoid. Adjust your position in response to changing conditions on the road.
