13. 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.

14. 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.

15. How is the accelerator controlled?

With the right hand

With the left hand

With the right foot

With the left foot

The accelerator of a motorcycle is located by the right handgrip and is controlled with the right hand.

16. Which of the following is not a good way for a rider to increase their visibility?

Wearing proper clothing

Using their headlight at all times

Using their turn signals

Waving at other drivers

17. Rain suits:

Should not be used.

Should not balloon when riding.

Are not needed since motorcycles shouldn't be operated in the rain.

Should tear easily.

High-quality rain suits designed for motorcycle riding will resist tearing and ballooning when a rider travels at high speeds.

18. If only one alcoholic drink is consumed:

Judgment and riding abilities can still be affected.

There is usually no effect on the body.

There is an effect on the body, but it only lasts for a short time.

There is an effect on the body, but it can be eliminated by drinking coffee.

As little as one alcoholic drink can significantly affect the skills that are needed for safe riding. The only way to remove the alcohol content of a drink from your body is to allow your body time to eliminate it.
