13. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

Explanation
Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.

14. More than half of all crashes:

Explanation
Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.

15. When approaching a blind intersection, you should:

Explanation
When approaching a blind intersection, move into the part of the lane that will bring you into an oncoming driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment. For example, when approaching a blind corner to your right, you may be seen sooner if you are in the left portion of your lane and not in the center portion.

16. Reflective material on your helmet:

Explanation
Reflective material on a vest or on the sides of your helmet can make you more visible to other drivers and should be used both day and night.

17. To best control a motorcycle, a rider should:

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

18. Riding alongside another rider:

Explanation
You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.
