11. Usually, a minimum following distance of _____ should be maintained.

One second

Two seconds

Three seconds

Generally, you should maintain a minimum following distance of two seconds. Increase your following distance to at least three seconds whenever you are riding under conditions that are less than ideal.

12. An integrated braking system:

Applies partial rear braking when the front brake is applied.

Applies partial front braking when the rear brake is applied.

Applies even braking for both the front and rear brakes when either is applied.

Learns and remembers the approximate braking force used by the rider.

An integrated braking system is a variant of a linked braking system. Partial front braking is applied whenever the rear brake is activated. Check your owner's manual for a detailed explanation of the braking system on your motorcycle.

13. As an operator, you should prepare a passenger to ride by instructing them to do each of the following, except:

Get on the motorcycle after the engine has been started.

Sit as far forward as possible.

Maintain a large space between themselves and you.

Keep their legs away from the muffler and chains.

Before beginning a ride, you should ask your passenger to mount the motorcycle only after the engine has been started. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding you and hold onto the motorcycle's passenger handholds or onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep their legs away from the muffler, chains, and other moving parts.

14. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

15. When riding through a curve, a group of motorcyclists should:

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a side-by-side formation.

Use both lanes if possible.

While a staggered formation is generally recommended, riders in a group should move into a single-file formation when taking curves, taking turns, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.
