24. A difference between googles and a windshield is:

A windshield will protect you from the wind, but goggles won't.

Two-way traffic

Right lane ends

Merge

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns of merging traffic ahead.

26. On a motorcycle, which brake provides the most stopping power?

The front brake

The rear brake

The emergency brake

The front brake provides about three-quarters of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both the front and rear brakes every time you stop.

27. Passengers should:

Look over their shoulder when taking a turn or curve.

Never hold onto the rider.

Sit as far back as possible.

Before mounting, you should ask your passenger to look over your shoulder in the direction of any turn or curve that you may take. Doing so will help you and your bike to lean in the appropriate direction.

28. Of the following, it is most important to flash your brake light when:

Someone is following you too closely.

You will be slowing suddenly.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Because a motorcycle's brake light is not as noticeable as the brake lights of a car, it is usually a good idea to flash your brake light when slowing or stopping so others will be more likely to notice that you are decelerating. This is particularly important if you are slowing down more quickly than others might expect.

29. To avoid confusing other drivers, you should:

Increase your following distance.

Turn off your turn signal after you complete a turn or lane change.

Use your horn only in emergency situations.

After completing a turn or lane change, deactivate your turn signal. Leaving your signal on after moving to the right or left can confuse other road users.

30. Hearing protection:

Is not needed when the rider is wearing a helmet.

Is only recommended for long trips.

Should be used on all rides.

Exposure to engine and wind noise can damage your hearing, even if you are wearing a helmet. Wearing hearing protection while riding is always a good idea.
