Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that a railroad crossing is ahead.

2. A "wobble," or a sudden shaking of the front wheel and handle bars, can usually be traced to:

Incorrect tire pressure or uneven loading.

Improperly tightening the front wheel to the frame.

Hitting an object with the front tire.

A “wobble” is when the front wheel and handlebars suddenly start to shake from side to side. Most wobbles are a result of improper loading, unsuitable accessories, or incorrect tire pressure.

3. Of the following, which is not a reason to keep a cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you?

It allows you more time to respond to hazards.

It prevents you from finding an escape route.

It provides space to maneuver your motorcycle.

Maintaining an adequate space cushion ensures that you will have time to respond if another driver makes a mistake. A cushion of space also allows you the space you need to safely maneuver your motorcycle.

4. When other vehicles are slowed or stopped:

A motorcyclist should not weave between lanes of traffic.

It is acceptable for a motorcyclist to weave in and out of traffic lanes.

A motorcyclist should ride in a straight line between two lanes.

Riding between rows of stopped or slowly moving vehicles can be dangerous. Vehicles may change lanes, doors may open, or arms may be stuck out of vehicles' windows. Despite their size, motorcycles need the full width of a lane to operate safely.

5. Convex mirrors:

Provide a narrow view of the road behind you.

Provide a wide view of the road behind you.

Signs that are blue with white markings indicate the locations of services. These services may include rest areas, gas stations, food options, and hospitals.

Perform both actions at the same time.

Only brake.

Perform one action, then the other.

If you must both swerve and brake to avoid a hazard, you should separate the actions. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake, but do not perform both actions at the same time.
