29. What does this signal mean?

Rest stop

High beams on

Turn right

Hazard

Signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. When the lead rider's right leg is extended, it means there is a hazard in the roadway on their right side.

30. The best lane position:

Changes based on riding conditions.

Prevents you from seeing the road ahead of you.

Allows you to speed.

Places you in the blind spot of another vehicle.

There is no single lane position that is always best. You should adjust your lane position as conditions change. Choose a position that helps you to see and be seen, helps you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and keeps you out of the blind spots of other vehicles.

31. If you are unable to avoid hitting an object in the roadway, you should:

Speed up before contact.

Slow down before contact.

Lean the motorcycle.

Stay seated on the motorcycle.

If you cannot avoid hitting an obstacle in the roadway, you should try to hit it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can before contact, keep your motorcycle upright, rise slightly off of your seat, and roll the throttle slightly to lighten the front end just before impact.

32. How does the stopping distance for motorcycles compare to the stopping distance for cars?

Cars need much longer to stop.

Cars need a little longer to stop.

Motorcycles need longer to stop.

Both motorcycles and cars take about the same amount of time to stop.

Under normal conditions, the stopping distances for motorcycles is nearly the same as it is for cars. However, slippery pavement makes quick stops especially difficult for motorcycle operators.

33. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

34. When riding in a lane of traffic, a motorcycle operator:

Should always ride in the same part of the lane.

Should vary their lane position according to riding conditions.

Should always ride in the center of the lane.

Should always ride in the left part of the lane.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. Vary your lane position based on changing road and traffic conditions.

35. When you are passing another vehicle:

You must complete the pass in a passing zone.

You may complete the pass in a no passing zone if the pass was started before the no passing zone began.

You should make eye contact with the driver.

You should ride on the shoulder if possible.

All passes must be completed within the posted speed limits. Only make a pass where it is safe and legal to do so.
