19. A group of riders should merge onto a highway in:

A single-file formation.

A staggered formation.

Pairs.

A pyramid formation.

While a staggered formation is usually best under normal riding conditions, a group of riders should switch to a single-file formation when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

20. When it starts raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Avoid riding down the center of a lane under wet conditions. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by the cars ahead of you. The left tire track will often be best, but this can vary depending on traffic and other conditions.

21. A rectangular sign may be a:

School crossing sign.

Railroad crossing sign.

Stop sign.

Speed limit sign.

Signs informing road users of road regulations, such as speed limits, are normally rectangular and colored white with black lettering or symbols. Riders must follow the rules posted on these regulatory signs.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. Brightly-colored helmets:

May make it easier for the wearer to be seen.

Can be distracting.

Don’t help to improve a rider's visibility.

Are not permitted.

Choosing a brightly-colored helmet is recommended. Not only will the helmet protect you in the case of a crash, but the bright color of the helmet will help other road users see you.

25. When making normal stops, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Alternate between the front and rear brakes.

Make it a habit to always use both brakes when slowing or stopping, even for normal, non-emergency stops.
