1. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle operator?

The left position in the lane

The center position in the lane

The right position in the lane

There is no single lane position that is best for all situations.

There is no lane position that is always best and no lane position that should always be avoided. Select a lane position that is appropriate for your current riding conditions, allowing you to maintain an adequate space cushion and be visible to others.

2. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually safest to approach the tracks:

By proceeding straight within your lane.

At a 45-degree angle.

At a 90-degree angle.

At a fast speed.

In general, it is safest to simply proceed straight in your lane when crossing angled railroad tracks. Turning to approach tracks at a right angle can be dangerous because it may send you traveling into another lane.

3. When you are being passed by another vehicle, which part of the lane should you ride in?

The left

The center

The right

It doesn’t matter.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with them. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle is also dangerous, as it could tempt the driver to re-enter your lane before it is safe to do so.

4. What does this signal mean?

Rest stop

High beams on

Turn right

Hazard

Signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. When the lead rider's right leg is extended, it means there is a hazard in the roadway on their right side.

5. Your lane position should not:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Provide you with an escape route.

Welcome other drivers into your lane.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.

6. When changing lanes:

Your mirrors can adequately show you your surroundings.

Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors.

Activate your turn signal and immediately move to the right or left.

Like any vehicle, motorcycles have blind spots. In addition to using your mirrors, you must always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.
