Passing Score 20

1. When passing another vehicle:

The pass may be completed in a no passing zone.

The rider may travel up to 10 mph over the speed limit to complete the pass.

The pass must be started and completed within a passing zone.

The pass must be completed on the shoulder, if one is present.

Passing must be completed within the posted speed limits, and only in areas where passing is safe and legal.

2. Most crashes occur in broad daylight. To be more visible, you should:

Wear brightly-colored clothing.

Wear darkly-clothing.

Ride without your headlight.

Ride in a weaving pattern.

Because most crashes happen in broad daylight, you should always wear brightly-colored clothing while riding, even during the day.

3. You should check your tires for all of the following, except:

Air pressure.

Tread.

General wear.

Flexibility.

When doing a pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle, you should check the air pressure, general wear, and tread of your tires.

4. Passing and being passed when riding a motorcycle is not much different than when driving a car. However:

A motorcycle's visibility is more critical than that of a car.

A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

5. When carrying a passenger in a sidecar, you should:

Begin slowing sooner than usual.

Begin slowing later than usual.

Apply the brakes more firmly than usual to stop quickly.

Apply the brakes more softly than usual to keep from overworking them.

The added weight of a passenger in a sidecar will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to require extra space to come to a complete stop.

6. To be effective, eye or face shield protection must be all of the following, except:

Able to fasten securely.

Too tight to allow sunglasses or eyeglasses to be worn.

Free of scratches.

Able to allow clear views to both sides.

To be effective, an eye or face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through to prevent fogging; and allow room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.
