25. What does this sign mean?

Vehicles will be entering the roadway.

Signal ahead.

Come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.

Octagonal signs that are colored red are always stop signs. When approaching one of these signs, you must come to a complete stop, yield to any other traffic or pedestrians, and proceed once it is safe to do so.

26. When making a non-emergency stop on a motorcycle:

Only the front brake should be used.

The front and rear brakes should be applied at the same time.

Only the rear brake should be used.

When making a normal, non-emergency stop, use the front and rear brakes simultaneously and downshift.

27. Using all three lane positions is:

Not encouraged because then you can never get used to any part of a lane.

Discouraged because it confuses other motorists.

Wise if you are adapting to changing conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. Vary your lane position as road and traffic conditions warrant.

28. Smaller vehicles appear to be ________ and slower than they really are.

Closer

Farther away

Larger

It can be difficult to judge the speed and distance of a small vehicle, such as a motorcycle. Do not assume that drivers of larger vehicles will be able to accurately understand your speed and location.

29. A motorcycle’s brake light is _________ a passenger vehicle’s brake light.

More noticeable than

Just as noticeable as

Not as noticeable as

Your motorcycle’s brake light is usually not as noticeable as that of a larger vehicle, especially when the taillight is on. Be aware that surrounding drivers may not notice your brake light.

30. Upshifting or downshifting in a curve:

Should only be done if it can be done smoothly.

Is better than shifting before the curve.

Is the best way to control your speed.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. However, if you must shift while turning, shift smoothly. A sudden change in power to the rear wheel can cause a skid.

31. Under normal conditions, a motorcyclist should maintain a following distance of at least:

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Motorcyclists should maintain a minimum two-second following distance under normal conditions. Any time conditions are less than perfect, a larger following distance is recommended.

32. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull onto the shoulder and wait for it to stop raining.

Ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles.

Roads become slippery when it first starts raining, especially in the center strip of a lane. When rain starts, it is generally safest to ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles. The left tire track is often best.
