Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Montana

1. When it is raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Wet pavement is especially slippery when it first begins to rain. Deposits of oil left by cars will not yet have washed off the roadway. If it is raining, it is safest to ride in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track will often be your best choice, although this may vary.

2. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between motorcycle operators and other drivers?

At intersections

On highways

On rural roads

In parking lots

Intersections present the greatest potential for conflict between motorcyclists and other drivers. Riders should use extra caution when approaching and riding through intersections.

3. A three-wheeled motorcycle:

Handles curves about the same as a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Handles curves differently than a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Should not be operated in curves.

Should use the shoulder when taking a curve.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

4. If your motorcycle has convex mirrors and you are not familiar with this type of mirror, you should practice using the mirrors because:

Most people aren’t used to using mirrors.

Unlike flat mirrors, they make items look farther away than they really are.

Unlike flat mirrors, they make items look closer than they really are.

It can be difficult to remember to look at mirrors while riding.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. Take the time to get used to your mirrors if your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors.

5. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Avoid other drivers' blind spots.

Avoid surface hazards.

Prevent access to an escape route.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

Plans to turn left.

Is about to stop.

Plans to turn right.

Is about to slow down.

Instead of mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.
