1. When approaching a blind intersection, you should:

When approaching a blind intersection, move into the portion of the lane that will bring you into another driver’s field of vision at the earliest possible moment.

2. If passing another vehicle:

You may exceed the speed limit until the pass is complete.

You may disregard no passing zone markings if you began the pass in a passing zone.

You must observe the posted speed limit.

All passes must be completed within the posted speed limits and only in areas where passing is permitted.

3. If you have a passenger aboard your motorcycle, you should do all of the following, except:

Ride at speeds that are slower than usual.

Allow more distance to stop than usual.

Tell the passenger to hold onto the back of the bike.

A motorcycle that is carrying a passenger will handle differently than usual due to the added weight of the additional rider. An operator should ride at slower speeds and allow more time and distance to slow down and stop. A passenger should hold firmly and securely onto the motorcycle's passenger handgrips or onto the operator's waist, hips, or midsection.

4. On a motorcycle, which brake provides the most stopping power?

The front brake

The rear brake

The emergency brake

The front brake provides about three-quarters of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both the front and rear brakes every time you stop.

5. 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.

6. If you will be carrying a passenger on your motorcycle, you will likely have to:

Reduce the tire pressure.

Make no tire pressure adjustments.

Increase the tire pressure.

Because a passenger will place additional weight on your motorcycle, you will probably need to add a few pounds of pressure to your tires before riding. Check your owner's manual for details regarding the appropriate pressure settings to use.
