19. When riding with a passenger, you should tell them to do all of the following, except:

Get on the motorcycle after the engine has been started.

Sit as far forward as they can without crowding you.

Hold firmly onto your waist, hips, or belt.

Feel free to talk whenever they want.

To help keep the operator focused on riding, passengers should avoid unnecessary conversation or movement. Passengers should get on a motorcycle only after the engine has been started. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding the operator and hold firmly onto the operator's waist, hips, or belt.

20. A motorcyclist can discourage other vehicles from lane sharing by:

Riding in the left portion of a lane.

Riding in the center portion of a lane.

Giving dirty looks if another driver moves into their lane.

Riding in a zigzag pattern to fill up a lane.

Any time a driver may be tempted to try to squeeze into your lane next to you, ride in the center portion of the lane to discourage them from doing so.

21. When riding a motorcycle and trying to turn, you should:

Press the grip in the direction you want to turn.

Press the grip opposite of the direction you want to turn.

Not hold the grip because it can be dangerous.

Not lean the motorcycle as that can be unsafe.

When traveling faster than a walking pace, your motorcycle will need to lean to turn. Pressing the grip in the direction you want to turn will cause you to lean in the appropriate direction

22. If operating a three-wheeled motorcycle or riding with a sidecar, do not ride too far to the right of your lane because:

Other drivers may not see you.

You will not be able to pass other vehicles as easily.

Other drivers may try to share your lane.

You may run off the road.

Because a sidecar sits on the right side of a motorcycle, riding too far to the right side of your lane risks the sidecar running off the road. Similarly, on a three-wheeled motorcycle, the rear right wheel may leave the road if you get too close to the right edge.

23. When riding, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look through turns.

Always look through a turn to where you want to go. Turn only your head to look, not your shoulders, and keep your eyes level with the horizon.

24. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride:

In the front of the group.

Right behind the leader.

At the back of the group.

Wherever they are most comfortable.

When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader near the front of the group. This allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from the back of the group.

25. If you are unable to avoid hitting an object in the roadway, you should:

Speed up before contact.

Slow down before contact.

Lean the motorcycle.

Stay seated on the motorcycle.

If you cannot avoid hitting an obstacle in the roadway, you should try to hit it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can before contact, keep your motorcycle upright, rise slightly off of your seat, and roll the throttle slightly to lighten the front end just before impact.
