6. If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, you should:

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Tighten your hold on the handle grips and increase your speed to get past the hazard.

Travel in a zigzag motion.

Ride on the shoulder instead of on the grooves.

The weaving motion that occurs when a motorcycle rides over rain grooves or bridge gratings is generally not dangerous. If you experience weaving when riding over one of these surfaces, simply relax and proceed straight across the grooves or gratings at a steady speed. Trying to compensate for the weaving motion by zigzagging is more dangerous than riding straight.

7. When riding in a group, it is best to put inexperienced riders near the front because:

Experienced riders can more easily keep an eye on them.

They will get lost if they are leading.

They may slow the group down as the leaders.

They will ride too fast in any other position.

In a group, less experienced riders should ride toward the front, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can easily watch them.

8. Which of the following is not a safe step in preventing fatigue while riding?

Protecting yourself from the elements

Taking artificial stimulants

Limiting the distance ridden in one day

Taking frequent breaks

When taking a long trip, be sure to schedule in frequent breaks to rest and try not to ride more than six hours in one day. Wind, cold, and rain can make you tire quickly, so be sure to dress to protect yourself from the elements. Avoid taking artificial stimulants, as the effects when they wear off can be very dangerous.

9. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Help you avoid road hazards.

Help you avoid other drivers’ blind spots.

Help you avoid being seen by other drivers.

Increase your ability to be seen by others.

A well-chosen lane position should increase your ability to see and be seen and keep you out of other drivers' blind spots. It should help you avoid surface hazards, protect your lane from other drivers, communicate your intentions to others, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and offer you an escape route from any hazards that may arise.

10. You should use a larger cushion of space:

When roads are slippery.

When it is sunny outside.

When it is colder than usual.

When you are following other motorcycles.

A two-second following distance is generally appropriate. Allow a larger cushion of space when riding under conditions that will increase your stopping distance, such as when the road surface is icy or wet.
