16. 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.

17. Motorcyclists riding in a group should avoid pairing up because:

A merging driver may not see both riders.

Reflections from both helmets may make it difficult for the riders to see.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

It is too difficult for riders on the left side of a pairing to exit a highway.

When traveling in a group, it is never recommended for motorcyclists to ride in pairs. Neither rider will have adequate room to maneuver to avoid hazards.

18. Riding alongside another rider:

Allows you to maximize the surface of the road.

Should be avoided because it limits your escape routes.

Allows you to communicate with one another.

Makes it easier for other motorists to pass.

You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.

19. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between motorcycle operators and other drivers?

At intersections

On highways

On rural roads

In parking lots

Intersections present the greatest potential for conflict between motorcyclists and other drivers. Riders should use extra caution when approaching and riding through intersections.

20. When riding downhill on a motorcycle with a sidecar:

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

You cannot stop.

Stopping is about as easy as it is when riding without the sidecar.

Riding with a sidecar increases the weight of a motorcycle and increases the braking force needed to stop the motorcycle. Slowing and stopping take longer when riding a vehicle downhill than when riding on a flat surface.
