13. Signals on a motorcycle:

Serve little purpose since motorcycles are smaller than most other vehicles.

Are very important to alert other motorists to a rider's intentions.

Should not be used if no vehicles are close to the motorcycle.

Are more complicated than those on a car.

You are especially vulnerable as a motorcyclist, so it is very important to use your turn signals to alert others to your intentions. Always use them any time that you plan to change lanes or turn, even if you don't think anyone else is nearby.

14. Maintain an adequate following distance behind other vehicles:

To allow you time and space to identify and react to hazards.

So you can tailgate.

To allow for traffic counters to accurately count you as a vehicle.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

Maintaining an adequate following distance ensures that you will have enough space to stop or swerve out of the way if the vehicle ahead of you stops suddenly. A space cushion also provides you with a better view of any hazards on the road surface, such as potholes.

15. Which of the following is not an example of a slippery surface?

A gravel road

A patch of leaves

An ice patch

Dry concrete

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; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

16. What can help reduce the risk of a head or neck injury in the event of a crash?

Riding on the shoulder

Riding under the speed limit

Wearing a helmet

Not allowing a passenger on the motorcycle

Wearing a helmet is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce the risk of head or neck injuries in the event of a crash.

17. For the best protection, riding gloves should be made of:

Leather.

Wool.

Polyester.

Silk.

Gloves should be made of leather or another durable material to provide proper protection for the wearer.

18. A properly-fitted motorcycle:

Allows the rider to touch the ground with their feet while seated.

Has a seat even with the rider's waist.

Has a seat that is 10 inches above the rider's waist.

Has a seat that is 10 inches below the rider's waist.

If your motorcycle fits you properly, your feet should be able to reach the ground while you are seated. When riding your motorcycle, keep your feet firmly on the footrests.
