Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

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.

22. The best way to stop quickly is to:

Use the front brake only.

Use the front brake first.

Throttle down and use the front brake.

Use both brakes at the same time.

If you need to stop quickly, apply both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Sit so you can use your arms to steer, not to hold yourself up.

Sit far enough back on the seat that you can keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Drag your feet on the ground.

When riding, sit so you are able use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.

24. When approaching an intersection, you should:

Assume other drivers see you, especially if they make eye contact.

Never assume other drivers see you.

Stay focused on moving through the intersection.

Speed up to make others notice you.

Never assume that other drivers see you, even if they make eye contact with you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to notice them. Always reduce your speed when approaching an intersection.

25. Head and neck injuries can be reduced by:

Wearing a helmet.

Wearing goggles.
