7. To help provide space for drivers attempting to merge into your lane from an entrance ramp, you should:

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Ride on the far left shoulder.

Drivers merging onto a highway and into your lane may not notice your motorcycle. Give them plenty of space to safely merge by moving into a different lane, if you can.

8. If your front tire goes flat while you are riding:

The steering will feel heavy.

The steering will feel loose.

There will be no change in the steering.

The ride will feel too smooth.

If the front tire of a motorcycle fails, it will cause the steering to feel heavy. If your steering feels heavy, immediately exit the road and inspect your tires.

9. When riding downhill on a motorcycle with a sidecar:

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

You cannot stop.

Stopping is about as easy as it is when riding without the sidecar.

Riding with a sidecar increases the weight of a motorcycle and increases the braking force needed to stop the motorcycle. Slowing and stopping take longer when riding a vehicle downhill than when riding on a flat surface.

10. If a tire goes flat and you must brake, you should:

Apply the brake of the tire that is not flat.

Apply the brake of the tire that is flat.

Apply both brakes.

Not use either brake.

If either of your tires go flat and you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is).

11. Which formation is best for keeping the riders in a group close together?

Pyramid

Staggered

Single-file

Compressed

A staggered formation is generally the best way for a group to maintain close ranks while also allowing each rider to maintain an adequate cushion of space. A single-file formation is preferable when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

12. When being passed, all of the following are potential hazards, except:

Extended mirrors.

Objects being thrown from other vehicles.

Blasts of wind.

Headlights.

When being passed, motorcyclists should be careful not to be hit by any part of the passing vehicle, including its mirrors. In addition to the vehicle itself, motorcyclists should be aware of wind gusts coming from the passing vehicle and potential objects being thrown by a passenger in the vehicle who may not be paying attention to the road.
