29. When you are being passed from behind, you should:

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride in any portion of the lane.

When you are being passed from behind, stay in the center portion of your lane. This will discourage the other driver from re-entering your lane before it is safe.

30. In a normal turn:

The motorcycle and rider should lean together.

The motorcycle and rider should lean in opposite directions.

The motorcycle should lean, but the rider should not.

The rider should lean, but the motorcycle should not.

During normal turns, the motorcycle and the rider should be leaning together at the same angle. In slow, tight turns, only the motorcycle should lean while the rider keeps their body straight up.

31. When it comes to motorcycle safety, you should:

Assume everything on your motorcycle will work properly.

Conduct a pre-ride inspection before every ride.

Conduct a pre-ride inspection each month.

Conduct a pre-ride inspection twice a week.

A small mechanical fault can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car. Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle before every ride.

32. 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.

33. Which formation is best for keeping the riders in a group close together?

Pyramid

Staggered

Single-file

Compressed

A staggered formation is generally the best way for a group to maintain close ranks while also allowing each rider to maintain an adequate cushion of space. A single-file formation is preferable when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

34. A motorcycle needs:

Less frequent attention than a car.

More frequent attention than a car.

To have pre-ride checks performed only by a mechanic.

To be serviced only at a dealer.

Because a small technical fault can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car, motorcycles need to be checked more frequently. Complete a thorough check before every ride.

35. When braking:

Use only one brake if it is a non-emergency situation.

Only use both brakes if you are riding on wet pavement.

Use both brakes regardless of the circumstances.

Use only the front brake.

You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
