While searching the road for potential hazards, focus on looking for escape routes in or around intersections, shopping areas, schools, and construction zones.

16. A DOT-compliant helmet:

Severely limits your vision.

Allows you to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

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