3. Which of the following surfaces does not provide poor traction?

Wet pavement

Dry pavement

Lane markings

Snow

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; and painted lane markings can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

4. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

5. The center portion of a traffic lane is where:

Debris and oil drippings from cars often collect.

Motorcycle riders should always travel for safety.

Most accidents happen.

Drivers are least likely to see a motorcyclist.

The centermost portion of a lane is where debris and oil drippings from cars often collect. Other hazards, such as utility hole covers, can also be found in the centermost portion of the lane.

6. When preparing to pass another vehicle, you should ride in the left portion of your lane because:

It increases your line of sight.

It decreases your line of sight.

It makes it difficult to see beyond the vehicle.

It allows the other driver to speed up.

When preparing to pass on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane, both to increase your line of sight and to make yourself more visible to drivers already in the passing lane.
