19. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

Dry pavement

Lane markings

21. ____ can remove alcohol and its effects from your body.

Time

Coffee

Exercise
