17. To increase your line of sight when preparing to pass another vehicle on its left, you should:

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Ride in the center portion of your lane.

Try to stand up on your motorcycle.

When preparing to pass another vehicle on its left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. This will increase your line of sight and make you more visible to oncoming traffic.

18. If you cannot avoid a slippery road, you should:

Lean into the slippery section to maintain your balance.

Maintain your speed to improve traction.

Not worry about the road conditions.

Keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as needed.

It is best to entirely avoid slippery stretches of road. However, if there is no way to avoid such an area, keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as possible.

19. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before.

Not assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before and explain the process.

Not let them ask questions.

Not bother with explaining anything since they are only a passenger and not in control of the motorcycle.

A motorcycle passenger needs to understand how to ensure a safe ride ride for both themselves and the operator. An operator should never assume the passenger already knows what to do. Give a passenger complete instructions before every ride.

20. 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.

21. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.

22. What may help if you experience slippage of your drive chain?

Tightening the chain

Loosening the chain

Using the throttle more

Applying the rear brake

If you experience chain slippage, tightening the chain may help. If tightening the chain does not reverse the problem, replace the chain before continuing to ride your motorcycle.

23. To be legal, a motorcycle must be equipped with all of the following, except:

At least one headlight.

A brake light.

A windshield wiper.

A horn.

In Minnesota, all motorcycles are required to be equipped with a rearview mirror, a horn, a muffler, one or two headlights, one red taillight, and at least one brake. If the motorcycle has a seat designed or suitable for use by a passenger, it must also have footrests or floorboards for the passenger.

24. When riding at night:

Distances are easier to judge than they are during the day.

Using a high beam headlight always makes it difficult to see.

Use only one lane position.

Reduce your speed.

When riding at night, you should reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use your high beam headlight whenever you are riding where there is no other traffic. Always be prepared to adjust your lane position to react to changing conditions.
