7. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually safest to approach the tracks:

By proceeding straight within your lane.

At a 45-degree angle.

At a 90-degree angle.

At a fast speed.

In general, it is safest to simply proceed straight in your lane when crossing angled railroad tracks. Turning to approach tracks at a right angle can be dangerous because it may send you traveling into another lane.

8. When both braking and swerving must be done to avoid an unexpected hazard, a rider should:

Perform one action, then the other.

Perform both actions at the same time and apply extra braking pressure.

Perform both actions at the same time, but mainly focus on swerving.

Not perform either action.

Because you need adequate traction to swerve safely, you should not brake and swerve at the same time. Instead, if you approach a hazard that requires you to brake and swerve, you should perform one action and then the other.

9. Which type of sign is yellow with black lettering or symbols?

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

10. In a slow, tight turn, the rider should:

Counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping their body upright.

Lean at the same angle as the motorcycle.

Lean in the opposite direction of the motorcycle and the turn.

Counterbalance their leaning body by keeping the motorcycle upright.

When taking normal turns, lean at the same angle as your motorcycle. However, in slow, tight turns, you should counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping your body upright.

11. In hot weather, wearing a riding jacket:

Can help protect against heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Is discouraged because it can cause heat-related problems.

Should only be done if the jacket is a light color.

Is not important.

A riding jacket and long pants should still be worn when riding in hot weather. In addition to their other safety benefits, they can protect a rider from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

12. When planning a long group ride, which of the following ideas should not be implemented?

The lengths of travel segments should be based on the least experienced rider.

Breaks should be minimized so the riders can get to their destination as soon as possible.

Inexperienced riders should be placed behind the leaders.

The group should maintain a staggered riding formation.

When riding in a group, the length of a route and the lengths of segments of travel should be based on the skill level of the least experienced rider. Groups of riders should take regular breaks to reduce fatigue. Inexperienced riders should be placed behind the leader so more experienced riders can keep an eye on them from behind. It is generally best to ride in a staggered formation.
