7. When being passed from behind, you should:

Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

Use the center portion of your lane.

Use the right portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

8. When riding in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlight.

Use your low beam headlight.

Use no lights.

Alternate between the low and high beams.

You should use your low beam headlight when riding in foggy conditions. Do not use your high beams when riding near other vehicles.

9. Engine braking:

Is illegal.

Is slowing down by turning the engine off.

Is slowing down by downshifting.

Is not encouraged because of the damage it does to the engine.

Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to applying the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

10. Of the following, which should you not do to improve your safety when riding at night?

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Use your high beam headlight whenever possible.

Increase your following distance.

To ride safely at night, you should reduce your speed, use your high beam headlight when you are not riding near other vehicles, and increase your following distance. Take advantage of vehicles ahead of you to provide clues about the upcoming road. Their headlights may help to illuminate the road ahead and their taillights will bounce up and down if the vehicle is being driven over bumps on the road.

11. If carrying a load in a sidecar, the motorcycle's stopping distance:

May be increased.

May be decreased.

Is not a concern.

Will be similar to the stopping distance of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Because adding a load to a motorcycle increases its weight, the vehicle's inertia may increase, causing its stopping distance to increase. Begin slowing and stopping earlier when riding a motorcycle with a load or passenger in its sidecar.

12. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Assume the motorcycle is as easy to see as other vehicles.

Assume other drivers can’t see you.

Not be concerned with taking steps to ensure that other drivers see you.

Ride offensively.

Because motorcycles are small in stature and have fewer and smaller lights than other vehicles, they can be difficult to see. For your safety, it is best to ride defensively and assume that others on the road do not see you.
