11. How does the stopping distance for motorcycles compare to the stopping distance for cars?

Cars need much longer to stop.

Cars need a little longer to stop.

Motorcycles need longer to stop.

Both motorcycles and cars take about the same amount of time to stop.

Under normal conditions, the stopping distances for motorcycles is nearly the same as it is for cars. However, slippery pavement makes quick stops especially difficult for motorcycle operators.

12. If a driver is following you too closely, you should:

Flash your brake light before you slow to warn the other driver.

Accelerate.

Pull over to the side of the road.

Slow down.

If someone is following you too closely, it is a good idea to flash your brake light before slowing down. A tailgater may be concentrating on you and not see upcoming hazards that require traffic to slow down.

13. When following a car, usually the best portion of the lane to ride in is:

The left portion.

The center portion.

The right portion.

The left or right portions.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

14. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.

15. Maximum straight-line braking is done by:

Using the front brake, then the rear brake.

Using the rear brake, then the front brake.

Using the front and rear brakes at the same time without locking either wheel.

Using the front and rear brakes at the same time while locking the rear wheel.

Maximum straight-line braking is accomplished by simultaneously applying both the front and rear brakes without locking either wheel.
