13. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Protects your face, but not your eyes.

Yield

Slow-moving vehicle

Railroad crossing

This sign is displayed on the rear of slow-moving vehicles that may be moving more slowly than 25 mph, such as construction equipment, farm machinery, or horse-drawn vehicles.

15. 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.

16. If another driver makes eye contact with you:

You know that they have seen you.

It doesn’t always mean they've actually seen you.

They will properly yield to you.

You should never rely on eye contact as an assurance that a driver has seen you. It is not uncommon for a driver to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to actually notice them.

17. When you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing driver increases the danger of colliding with them, and riding on the side farthest from the driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.

18. The best way to stop quickly is to:

Use the front brake only.

Use the rear brake before the front brake.

Use both brakes.

Always use the front and rear brakes the same time when making a quick stop.
