Not required, but recommended.

Not recommended.

In Georgia, you are required to wear a U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet any time you operate a motorcycle.

Stop.

Yield to other drivers.

A stop sign is ahead.

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that a stop sign is ahead.

24. You are most likely to get into a collision:

At an intersection.

When riding in a group.

Traveling on the expressway.

The greatest potential for conflict between you and other traffic exists at intersections.

25. If you approach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as another vehicle:

The vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.

You should flash your headlight to signal that the other vehicle should proceed.

You should continue through the intersection and expect the other vehicle to stop.

If you approach an intersection that is not marked with signs or traffic lights at the same time as another driver, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

26. Which of the following types of footwear is best for a motorcycle operator?

Sturdy boots

Tennis shoes

Shoes with loose laces

Sandals

Sturdy boots or shoes that are high enough to support the ankles can provide the best protection for motorcyclists. Laced up boots are best, but high-top boots or heavy shoes are fine. If a motorcyclist wears shoes that have long laces, they should be sure to securely tuck the laces away before riding.

27. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Wear half-fingered gloves.

Wear full-fingered gloves.

Not wear gloves.

Wearing gloves while riding provides an improved grip and help protect your hands. You should use gloves that are full-fingered and made of a durable material.

28. Stopping in a turn can be difficult because:

There is decreased traction available for stopping while the bike is leaning.

The rider is usually focused on the turn and not on the braking.

The brake controls do not work in turns.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

29. When motorcyclists ride in a group:

Inexperienced riders should lead the group.

Inexperienced riders should be near the front of the group.

Inexperienced riders should be in the back of the group.

When traveling in a group, less experienced riders should be placed near the front of the group behind the leader. This way, more experienced riders can lead the way and watch the inexperienced riders at the same time.

30. When you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Perform both actions at the same time.

Only brake.

Perform one action, then the other.

If you must both swerve and brake to avoid a hazard, you should separate the actions. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake, but do not perform both actions at the same time.
