1. A motorcyclist should continually scan the road ahead for:

Road conditions.

Traffic conditions.

Escape routes.

All of the above.

Scan the road ahead to remain alert to changing traffic conditions, hazardous road conditions, and escape routes. Be prepared to react to any changing conditions.

2. If you must stop quickly in a curve, you should:

Straighten up, square the handlebars, and stop.

Abruptly apply both brakes while leaning.

Apply only the rear brake.

Apply only the front brake.

If you must stop quickly while in a curve, you should first straighten and square the handlebars, then stop. If straightening your motorcycle is not possible, you should apply the brakes smoothly and gradually, reduce your lean angle, then increase the brake pressure as you slow down.

3. When being passed from behind, you should:

Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

Use the center portion of your lane.

Use the right portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

4. If you can’t avoid a dangerously slippery surface, you should:

Speed up and lean the motorcycle.

Speed up and keep the motorcycle upright.

Slow down and lean the motorcycle.

Slow down and keep the motorcycle upright.

If you can’t avoid a dangerously slippery surface, you should keep your motorcycle upright and proceed over the surface as slowly as possible.

5. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Is the best way to know that they see you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

Does not mean that they will yield to you when they should.

Guarantees that they will yield to you.

You should never take eye contact as a guarantee that a driver will properly yield to you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist but fail to register that they are there.

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 bent at the elbow and pointing upward, it means the operator plans to turn right or change lanes to the right.
