16. When riding under normal conditions, maintain a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Under normal conditions, you should maintain a following distance of at least four seconds. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

17. If you need to swerve to avoid an obstacle, it is important to:

Always brake before swerving.

Separate braking from swerving.

Always brake after swerving.

Swerve in the direction of the obstacle.

If a hazard warrants you to brake and swerve, you should perform one action and then the other. Either swerve and then brake, or brake and then swerve. Do not do both at the same time.

18. The center portion of a lane:

Is always the best part of the lane for a motorcycle.

Often contains oil and grease, but is usually safe for riding.

Often contains oil and grease, and is never safe for riding.

Is the smoothest part of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this area still generally offers enough traction for motorcyclists to safely ride. You should still avoid riding on big buildups of oil and grease, often found at busy intersections or near toll booths.

19. Motorcycle riders:

Should wear hearing protection at all times to prevent hearing damage.

Should only wear hearing protection during long rides.

Should not wear hearing protection because it will muffle other noises, such as horns and sirens.

Do not need to use hearing protection if they are using a helmet.

Longterm exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing damage, even if the rider is wearing a full-face helmet. Wearing ear plugs or other hearing protection can guard against damage while still allowing the wearer to hear important sounds like horns and sirens.

20. A linked braking system:

Connects the front and rear brakes, applying both brakes when either brake lever is applied.

Connects the front brake to the gear shifter, applying the brake when the rider downshifts.

Connects the rear brake to a foot control.

Connects the rear brake to a switch on the handlebar.

A linked braking system connects the front and rear brakes on a motorcycle. This system applies braking pressure to both brakes when either the front or rear lever is used. Check your owner's manual for a detailed explanation of the braking system on your motorcycle.
