It is a good idea to flash your brake light before slowing if someone is following you too closely. The other driver may be focused on you and be unaware of the upcoming hazard that is causing you to slow down.

25. When you are being passed by another vehicle, which part of the lane should you ride in?
Explanation
When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with them.

Explanation
When riding over a rough surface, hold onto the handgrips firmly to ensure that you will maintain directional control over your motorcycle.
