16. When choosing clothes for riding, which of the following is not a good choice?

A jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely

Boots or shoes that cover your ankles

Gloves made of leather

A baseball cap to cover your hair

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

17. An experienced rider:

Changes positions within their lane as conditions change.

Stays in one portion of a lane at all times.

Weaves within the lane to be more visible.

Travels only on the oily portion of the lane.

Unlike drivers of larger vehicles, a motorcyclist has three lane position options in their travel lane. The rider should select whichever position is safest based on road and traffic conditions.

18. The front brake is:

Too dangerous to be used by inexperienced operators.

Best when used by itself.

Meant to occasionally assist the rear brake.

To be used with the rear brake.

Use both the front and rear brakes every time you slow or stop.

19. Which of the following is not a type of protective riding gear?

A leather jacket

Boots that go above the ankle

Hearing protection

Pants made of a soft material

Appropriate protective gear for motorcycling includes a jacket and pants made of leather or another sturdy material; footwear that covers and supports your ankles; and hearing protection, even if you wear a helmet.

20. If carrying a load in a sidecar, the motorcycle's stopping distance:

May be increased.

May be decreased.

Is not a concern.

Will be similar to the stopping distance of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Because adding a load to a motorcycle increases its weight, the vehicle's inertia may increase, causing its stopping distance to increase. Begin slowing and stopping earlier when riding a motorcycle with a load or passenger in its sidecar.
