1. What does this sign mean?

Vehicles will be entering the roadway.

Signal ahead.

Come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.

Octagonal signs that are colored red are always stop signs. When approaching one of these signs, you must come to a complete stop, yield to any other traffic or pedestrians, and proceed once it is safe to do so.

2. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Helps protect your whole face.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for your entire face, including your eyes, in the event of a crash. A windshield is not an adequate substitute.

3. Texting and driving is:

Illegal.

Allowed when stopped at traffic control devices.

Allowed when there is minimal traffic.

Texting while driving is a very dangerous distraction that increases the risk of a crash by as much as 23 times. Texting while operating a vehicle is prohibited by South Dakota law.

4. When stopping your motorcycle while carrying a passenger, you should:

Ride a little faster than you normally would.

Start slowing earlier than you normally would.

Merge into smaller gaps of traffic than you normally would.

A passenger places extra weight on a motorcycle. Because of the added weight, the motorcycle will respond to the operator's movements more slowly than it would otherwise, taking more time to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the change in handling when carrying a passenger, you should reduce your speed, begin slowing down earlier when you stop, and look for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

5. As you approach a blind intersection, you should:

Move into the part of the lane that allows other drivers to most easily see you.

Move into the part of the lane closest to the traffic control device.

Move into the outside edge of the lane.

When approaching a blind intersection, move into the portion of the lane that will bring you into any other driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment.

6. There may be less traction available for braking when:

A motorcycle is leaning.

A motorcycle is straight up and down.

A motorcycle is on dry pavement.

Any time a motorcycle is leaning, such as in a turn or curve, there is less traction available for braking. Both brakes may still be used while a motorcycle is turning, but it must be done with great care.
