19. When riding over rough surfaces, you should:

Hold the handgrips loosely to allow for movement.

Hold the handgrips firmly to maintain control.

Use lots of throttle to help you get over the rough surface.

Ride without a helmet as the helmet could become loose and cover your face.

When riding over a rough surface, hold onto the handgrips firmly to ensure that you will maintain directional control over your motorcycle.

20. If a friend has been drinking and wants to ride their motorcycle, you should:

Let them.

Encourage them to take less-crowded roads.

Push their bike over.

Encourage friends to talk them out of riding.

Never let someone ride if they have had too much to drink. Do whatever you can to prevent them from riding. It can be helpful to recruit a group of friends to intervene and apply peer pressure to the person.

21. When may you not need to increase your following distance?

When the road is slippery

When there is a lot of traffic

When you can see through the vehicle in front of you

When it is raining

An increased following distance is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a longer following distance.

22. Before mounting your motorcycle, perform all of the following checks, except:

Making sure the headlight works.

Checking the oil level.

Trying both brake controls to ensure the brake light activates.

Ensuring that the paint is not scratched.

Before riding, you should check the pressure and condition of your tires; check the oil and fluid levels; and make sure that the low beam headlight, high beam headlight, taillight, signal lights, and brake light all work properly.

23. To help provide space for drivers attempting to merge into your lane from an entrance ramp, you should:

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Ride on the far left shoulder.

Drivers merging onto a highway and into your lane may not notice your motorcycle. Give them plenty of space to safely merge by moving into a different lane, if you can.

24. When going through a turn on a motorcycle, you should:

Keep your eyes focused close to the front of the motorcycle.

Look through the turn to where you want to go.

Turn your entire body to see through the turn.

Increase your speed before the turn.

When making a turn, you should look through the turn to where you want to go. Turn just your head, not your shoulders, and keep your eyes level with the horizon.

25. A way to lower the risk of being involved in a crash is to:

Communicate your intentions to other road users.

Not look ahead while riding.

Wear dark clothes.

Ride in the parts of a lane that make it difficult to be seen.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.
