19. When riding, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look where you are going.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go by turning only your head. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance while turning. Your arms should be slightly bent any time you are holding the handgrips.

20. Your lane position should:

Avoid other road users' blind spots.

Provide a good view of the shoulder.

Provide a poor view of road hazards.

Invite others to share your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should help you to see others and be seen by them. Avoid riding in another driver's blind spot for a long period of time.

21. Can clothing help prevent injuries in the event of a crash?

No, clothing is not really for protection.

No, clothing is more of a personal choice.

Yes, but only if garments are very loose and flap in the wind.

Yes, if pants and a jacket cover your arms and legs completely.

Appropriate clothing can reduce the risk of injury in a crash. Choose a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs, are made of sturdy material, and are snug enough that they do not flap in the wind.

22. Usually, a good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Move onto the shoulder to get out of their way.

Speed up and put distance between you and the tailgater.

Ignore them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Usually, the best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to follow you at a faster speed.

Speed up.

Slow down.

Ride in a single-file formation.

The group will pull off at the next exit.

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. A lead rider raising their left arm and extending their index finger means that the group of riders should move into a single-file formation.

24. Reflective clothing should:

Never be worn.

Be worn only during the day.

Be worn only at night.

Be worn day and night.

Most motorcycle crashes occur in broad daylight. Increasing your visibility by wearing bright colors and reflective materials is a good idea at all times.

25. To best control a motorcycle, a rider should:

Sit with their arms fully extended.

Use their arms to hold their body up.

Keep their knees away from the gas tank.

Keep their feet firmly on the footrests.

When riding, sit so that you can use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you hold the handgrips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.
