19. Which of the following is not considered protective clothing for a motorcyclist?

A jacket

Boots

Gloves

A stocking cap

You should wear appropriate protective clothing when riding. Protective garments include sturdy pants and jackets that entirely cover your arms and legs, boots or heavy shoes that cover and support your ankles, and sturdy gloves.

20. Signals on a motorcycle:

Serve little purpose since motorcycles are smaller than most other vehicles.

Are very important to alert other motorists to a rider's intentions.

Should not be used if no vehicles are close to the motorcycle.

Are more complicated than those on a car.

You are especially vulnerable as a motorcyclist, so it is very important to use your turn signals to alert others to your intentions. Always use them any time that you plan to change lanes or turn, even if you don't think anyone else is nearby.

21. Just like cars, motorcycles have blind spots. When switching lanes, you should:

Turn your head and check your blind spot.

Look only at your mirrors.

Rely on your peripheral vision.

Slow down so any vehicle in your blind spot can pass you.

Blind spots, by definition, are areas that you cannot see by just looking in your mirrors. Turn your head to the side and check over your shoulder for vehicles in your blind spot before you change lanes.

22. Which types of brakes do most motorcycles have?

Front and emergency

Rear and emergency

Front and rear

Only a front brake

Motorcycles generally have one brake for each wheel. The front brake carries more braking power than the rear brake.

23. A DOT-approved helmet:

Restricts the wearer's vision to the sides.

Can greatly reduce the severity of a head injury.

Is usually uncomfortable.

Makes it more difficult for the wearer to control their motorcycle.

Wearing a helmet while riding greatly improves your chances of avoiding serious injury to your head or neck in the case of a crash. A DOT-approved helmet will not restrict your vision to the sides.

24. When passing a vehicle:

You may exceed the speed limit until the pass is complete.

You may disregard "No passing zone" markings if the pass was started in a passing zone.

You may pass on the shoulder.

You must complete the pass within the posted speed limits and within a legal passing zone.

Passes must be completed within posted speed limits. Only pass where it is safe and legal to do so.

25. Which of the following surfaces provides the best traction for a motorcycle?

A gravel road

Dry pavement

Mud

Lane markings

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
