16. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

You may prevent another vehicle from passing you.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.

17. It is difficult for other motorists to see motorcycles at night. To make up for that, a motorcycle rider should:

Reduce their speed when riding at night.

Sound their horn repeatedly when riding at night.

Not ride at night.

Stay directly in front of another vehicle to be seen in their headlights when riding at night.

Strategies for safely riding at night include reducing your speed, increasing your following distance, using the lights of the car ahead to help see farther down the road, using your high beam headlight (unless following or meeting another vehicle), and being flexible about your lane position.

18. A linked braking system:

Connects the front and rear brakes, applying both brakes when either brake lever is applied.

Connects the front brake to the gear shifter, applying the brake when the rider downshifts.

Connects the rear brake to a foot control.

Connects the rear brake to a switch on the handlebar.

A linked braking system connects the front and rear brakes on a motorcycle. This system applies braking pressure to both brakes when either the front or rear lever is used. Check your owner's manual for a detailed explanation of the braking system on your motorcycle.

19. It is most important to flash your brake light when:

Passing another vehicle.

You will be slowing down suddenly.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals do not work.

A motorcycle's single brake light is not as noticeable as the two larger brake lights of a car or truck. It can be a good idea to flash your brake light to help others notice it, especially when you need to slow down more quickly than surrounding drivers may expect.

20. Which of the following is a poor reason to sound your horn?

A driver in the lane next to you is too close to the vehicle ahead of them.

A parked car has a person in the driver’s seat.

You want people to look at your motorcycle.

You are passing someone who is in the street.

It is a good idea to sound your horn before riding past a vehicle or pedestrian that may move into your lane. If you see a driver in an adjacent lane driving too closely to the vehicle ahead of them, you may assume that they want to pass and may cut in front of you to do so. If you see a person in the driver's seat of a parked car, or if you see a pedestrian or bicyclist in the street, it is a good idea to sound your horn as you pass.
