1. When it starts raining, it is best to:

Get off the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

When it starts to rain, avoid riding in the center of the lane. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by cars ahead of you. The left tire track is often best for riding, but this can vary based on traffic and other conditions.

2. Smaller vehicles appear to be ________ and slower than they really are.

Closer

Farther away

Larger

It can be difficult to judge the speed and distance of a small vehicle, such as a motorcycle. Do not assume that drivers of larger vehicles will be able to accurately understand your speed and location.

3. To minimize the potential for fatigue, you should:

Turn on the radio.

Take frequent rest breaks.

Drink caffeine.

Taking frequent rest breaks during a long trip can help reduce fatigue. Stimulants, such as caffeine, can ultimately increase the danger of fatigue because you may become extremely tired when they begin to wear off. Wind, rain, snow, and other elements can also increase levels of fatigue, so dress warmly (as needed) and invest in a windshield, especially if you plan to ride long distances.

4. Taking over-the-counter medication before riding:

Is usually fine since over-the-counter medications are never very strong.

Is acceptable all the time.

May affect your riding abilities and should be done with caution.

Many drugs, including legal prescription and over-the-counter medications, have side effects that can impair your ability to safely operate a motorcycle. Always talk to your doctor about how a new medication may affect your driving or riding abilities.

5. The normal recommended following distance should be extended if:

The pavement is slippery.

The sun is shining.

You believe stopping will be routine.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

6. When riding ________, you are facing the greatest potential for conflict between you and other vehicles.

On the expressway

Near an intersection

In a group

Intersections present the greatest potential for conflict between motorcycles and other vehicles. When approaching an intersection, be sure you are riding in a lane position that makes you most visible to other road users.

7. When cars are merging from an entrance ramp:

A motorcyclist should assume the entering drivers see them.

A motorcyclist should never assume the entering drivers see them.

A motorcyclist should stop.

Always allow merging cars plenty of space and never assume that the drivers see you. Change lanes away from the entering traffic, if possible. If there is no room for a lane change, adjust your speed to allow for safe merging.
