13. When in traffic, motorcycles need:

Much less distance to stop than cars.

Less distance to stop than cars.

As much distance to stop as cars.

More distance to stop than cars.

In traffic, a motorcycle needs as much distance to stop as a car does.

14. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In the front of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

Beside the lead rider.

Inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader. This ensures that they won't have to chase after the group, and it allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from behind.

15. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.

16. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.

17. When making normal stops, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Alternate between the front and rear brakes.

Make it a habit to always use both brakes when slowing or stopping, even for normal, non-emergency stops.

18. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In front of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

Beside the leader.

In a group of motorcyclists, riders with less experience should be positioned toward the front of the group, just behind the leader. This will allow more experienced riders to keep an eye on them without forcing the inexperienced rider to lead the group.
