19. Of the following, which should you not do to improve your safety when riding at night?

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Use your high beam headlight whenever possible.

Increase your following distance.

To ride safely at night, you should reduce your speed, use your high beam headlight when you are not riding near other vehicles, and increase your following distance. Take advantage of vehicles ahead of you to provide clues about the upcoming road. Their headlights may help to illuminate the road ahead and their taillights will bounce up and down if the vehicle is being driven over bumps on the road.

20. Generally, the body eliminates one alcoholic drink per hour. If a person consumed eight alcoholic drinks four hours ago, how many drinks likely remain in their body?

One drink

Two drinks

Three drinks

Four drinks

The minimum number of drinks left in a person's system can be estimated by subtracting the number of hours since the last drink from the total number of drinks consumed. In this case, the alcohol content of about four drinks would remain.

21. Which of the following provides the best protection?

Sunglasses

Windshield

Goggles

Face shield

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for the wearer's entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles may protect someone's eyes, but not the rest of their face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either.

22. Riding alongside another rider:

Allows you to maximize the surface of the road.

Should be avoided because it limits your escape routes.

Allows you to communicate with one another.

Makes it easier for other motorists to pass.

You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.

23. To stop quickly, you should:

Rely only on the front brake.

Rely only on the rear brake.

Use the front brake and then the rear brake.

Use both brakes at the same time.

If you need to stop quickly, you should apply both brakes at the same time.

24. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Assume the motorcycle is as easy to see as other vehicles.

Assume other drivers can’t see you.

Not be concerned with taking steps to ensure that other drivers see you.

Ride offensively.

Because motorcycles are small in stature and have fewer and smaller lights than other vehicles, they can be difficult to see. For your safety, it is best to ride defensively and assume that others on the road do not see you.

25. A group of riders should pass another vehicle:

In a staggered formation.

In a pyramid formation.

One at a time.

In a splintered formation.

On a two-lane highway, a group of riders should pass another vehicle one at a time. The second rider should not begin to pass until the first rider has safely re-entered the original lane. Riders should continue in this pattern until they have all safely passed the vehicle.
