23. Which of the following is not an example of a slippery surface?

A dirt or gravel road

A strip of oil in the center of a lane

Mud on pavement

Dry pavement

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; oily areas; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

24. Reflective clothing should:

Never be worn.

Be worn only during the day.

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. A leather jacket:

Can make a rider look cool.

Is usually too warm to wear when riding.

Provides protection in a crash.

Should not be worn when riding.

For your protection, you should wear a long-sleeved jacket, ideally made of leather, when riding. In warm weather, a leather jacket can help protect you against dehydration. Many motorcycle jackets are designed to help keep you cool even when the weather is hot.

26. 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.

27. When riding in a group while passing another vehicle, it is best to:

Allow one rider to fully pass the other vehicle before another rider begins to pass.

Allow several members of the group to pass the other vehicle at once.

Have the last rider in the group wave to the driver being passed to signal that no other motorcycles are approaching.

Pass in a staggered formation.

Riders in a group should overtake another vehicle one at a time. Each rider should complete their pass and resume their position in the group formation before the next rider begins to pass.

28. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

29. Drivers on an entrance ramp may not see you on the highway. What should you do to help an entering driver merge safely?

Stay in your lane, as it is not your responsibility to be seen.

Change to a lane away from the entrance ramp, if possible.

Move to the shoulder.

Weave within your lane to be more obvious to the entering driver.

To reduce the risk of a collision, always allow merging vehicles plenty of space to safely enter traffic. Change lanes away from the entrance ramp if there is room to do so safely. If there isn't another lane available, adjust your speed to open up space for the merging driver.

30. Crashes are more likely to occur among:

Experienced riders.

Beginning riders.

Those familiar with their motorcycle.

Those who have completed a safety course.

Crashes are the most likely to occur for untrained, beginning riders who are unfamiliar with their motorcycle.
