19. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?

Intersections

Safe, if used properly.

Safe, even if used improperly.

Only to be used if the rear brake fails.

Not to be used regularly.

21. Before mounting the motorcycle, your pre-ride inspection should include all of the following, except:

A tire check.

A taillight test.

A headlight test.

A paint check.

A pre-ride inspection should include checks of the tires, oil and fluids, lights, signals, clutch, throttle, mirrors, brakes, and horn. Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection before every ride.

22. Riding directly alongside another vehicle:

Can place you in the driver's blind spot.

Is better than riding behind the other vehicle.

Is safe because it limits your escape routes.

Should only be done during the day.

Avoid riding directly alongside another vehicle, since this may place you in the vehicle's blind spot. If the driver can't see you, they may enter your lane without warning. Riding alongside a vehicle is also dangerous because the vehicle will block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

23. Making eye contact with another driver:

Guarantees that the other driver will properly yield to you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

Means that the other driver knows you are there.

You should never take eye contact with another driver as a guarantee that they will properly yield the right-of-way to you.

Speed up to accommodate the one rider.

Split up and have every rider travel as fast or as slow as they want.

Let the rider that wants to go faster lead the group.

If one member of a group wants to ride faster than the others, it is best to let them go ahead of the group and meet at a designated spot later.

25. Of the following, which should you not do to improve your safety when riding at night?

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Use your high beam headlight whenever possible.

Increase your following distance.
