11. To adjust for added weight when riding with a passenger, you should:

Operate at a slower speed than usual.

Maintain a shorter following distance that you would if riding without a passenger.

Operate at a faster speed than usual.

Brake a little later than you would if riding without a passenger.

The extra weight of a passenger means that your motorcycle will need more time than usual to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the added weight, you should reduce your speed; start slowing earlier than normal; increase your following distance; and seek out larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging with traffic.

12. To lessen your chances of an accident, you should:

Only ride in the afternoon.

Follow the vehicle in front of you as closely as possible.

Not look ahead and focus only on your controls.

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

13. When changing lanes, riders should:

Rely only on their mirrors to identify other vehicles.

Turn their head to look for traffic behind them.

Not worry about other traffic.

Slam on the brakes to allow any vehicles in their blind spot to pass.

A motorcycle has blind spots just like any other vehicle. A rider must always turn their head to check for traffic before changing lanes.

14. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Gradually brake.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

15. Which of the following surfaces provides the best traction for a motorcycle?

A gravel road

Dry pavement

Mud

Lane markings

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; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
