16. A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means:

Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Look both ways as you cross the intersection.

Always come to a full stop at the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.

A red and white downward-facing triangular sign is a yield sign. When approaching this sign, you should slow down and prepare to yield the right-of-way to any pedestrians or vehicles in the crossroad. You may need to come to a stop. Proceed through the intersection when the way is clear.

17. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.

18. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Always ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Pull the clutch when turning.

In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

19. If you cannot avoid a slippery road, you should:

Lean into the slippery section to maintain your balance.

Maintain your speed to improve traction.

Not worry about the road conditions.

Keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as needed.

It is best to entirely avoid slippery stretches of road. However, if there is no way to avoid such an area, keep your motorcycle upright and proceed as slowly as possible.

20. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle?

The left position

The center position

The right position

There is no single best lane position.

No single lane position is always best and no single lane position should always be avoided. Adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change, choosing a position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you more easily.
