43. Why should you use both the front and rear brakes every time you slow or stop?

Using only one brake will cause the brakes to wear unevenly.

It develops good braking habits for emergency situations.

Using both brakes is the only way to slow down a motorcycle.

The brakes only work when both are applied.

Using both brakes even in normal stopping stops will help you develop the habit of always using both. Having this habit will serve you well in emergencies, where using both brakes may be critical.

44. To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, you should:

Try to make eye contact with other drivers.

Ride with your headlight on.

Reduce your space cushion.

Ride in a weaving pattern.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, leave your headlight turned on and ride in a lane position that most easily allows oncoming traffic to see you. Maintain a space cushion that allows you to take evasive action if necessary. Never assume that another driver sees you, even if you make eye contact with the driver.

45. During the day, you should:

Not ride with your headlight on.

Ride with your headlight on, but only if it is cloudy.

Always ride with your headlight on.

Use your headlight if you think it helps.

You should always have your headlight on when riding, even during the day. This can make you twice as likely to be noticed by other drivers.

46. The control for the rear brake is usually located:

On the right handlebar.

On the left handlebar.

Near the left foot.

Near the right foot.

The rear brake of a motorcycle is usually operated with the right foot.

47. In a slow, tight turn, the rider should:

Counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping their body upright.

Lean at the same angle as the motorcycle.

Lean in the opposite direction of the motorcycle and the turn.

Counterbalance their leaning body by keeping the motorcycle upright.

When taking normal turns, lean at the same angle as your motorcycle. However, in slow, tight turns, you should counterbalance the leaning motorcycle by keeping your body upright.

48. When carrying a passenger on a motorcycle, you must:

Have a seat that is large enough for two riders.

Only have one set of footrests.

Not encourage the passenger to wear protective clothing.

Put a sticker on the brake light to warn other motorists that a passenger is on the motorcycle.

You should not carry a passenger unless your motorcycle has a seat that is large enough for two riders. The motorcycle should be equipped with footrests for the passenger. Your passenger should wear the same kind of protective gear that is recommended to operators.

49. When riding over rough surfaces, you should:

Hold the handgrips loosely to allow for movement.

Hold the handgrips firmly to maintain control.

Use lots of throttle to help you get over the rough surface.

Ride without a helmet as the helmet could become loose and cover your face.

When riding over a rough surface, hold onto the handgrips firmly to ensure that you will maintain directional control over your motorcycle.

50. A motorcyclist should continually scan the road ahead for:

Road conditions.

Traffic conditions.

Escape routes.

All of the above.

Scan the road ahead to remain alert to changing traffic conditions, hazardous road conditions, and escape routes. Be prepared to react to any changing conditions.
