19. What does this sign mean?

Slippery when wet

Yield

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that the roadway ahead is likely to be slippery when wet.

20. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is:

Safe because you are in a separate lane.

Recommended because it blocks the wind.

Not recommended because you may be in the driver's blind spot.

It is not advisable to ride beside passenger vehicles or trucks. Doing so may place you in another vehicle's blind spot and the driver could move into your lane without realizing you are there.

21. When riding a motorcycle:

The mirrors provide a perfect view.

The mirrors do not show your blind spots.

The mirrors should not be used, except when parking.

As with any other vehicle, the mirrors of a motorcycle have blind spots. Always turn your head to check for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes.

22. Before a ride, a motorcycle operator should check the throttle. The throttle should:

Stay in place when released.

Stay loose when released.

Snap back when released.

Check your clutch and throttle before riding your motorcycle. The throttle should snap back when you let go and the clutch should feel tight and smooth.

23. When passing a row of parked vehicles, a motorcycle rider has an advantage over an automobile driver because:

The motorcycle can accelerate more quickly than a car.

The motorcyclist can ride in the left part of the lane to avoid people and cars to their right.

Motorcycles have a shorter stopping distance than cars do.

When passing a row of parked vehicles to your right, you may ride in the left portion of your lane. This way, you can more easily avoid opening doors, drivers getting out of vehicles, or people stepping out from between vehicles. Only ride in the left portion of the lane if there is no oncoming traffic.

24. When making a non-emergency stop on a motorcycle:

Only the front brake should be used.

The front and rear brakes should be applied at the same time.

Only the rear brake should be used.

When making a normal, non-emergency stop, use the front and rear brakes simultaneously and downshift.

25. You approach an emergency vehicle that is stopped on the side of the road while using its flashing lights. You should:

Stop on the roadway behind the emergency vehicle.

Stop and wait until the emergency vehicle begins moving again.

Merge into a lane away from the emergency vehicle.

If you approach an emergency vehicle, tow truck, or roadside assistance vehicle that is stopped with its lights flashing, you must change lanes to allow the vehicle extra space and proceed with caution. Always slow down and be prepared to stop when you approach an emergency scene.
