Passing Score 24

1. When being followed by a tailgater, you should:

Allow them to pass.

Speed up.

Not change how you are riding.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to allow them to pass you. Speeding up may result in them continuing to tailgate you, just at a higher speed.

2. 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.

3. Riding on ______ may provide poor traction.

Pavement markings

Dry pavement

The roadway under a bridge

Traction may be poor on surfaces such as wet, snowy, icy, or muddy pavement; gravel roads; lane markings; and steel plates and utility hole covers.

4. Your lane position should:

Allow you to blend in with traffic.

Provide an escape route.

Encourage others to use your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

5. When riding, your feet should be:

On the gas tank.

Hanging loosely.

On the footrests.

Your feet should remain on your footrests while riding to help you maintain proper balance.

6. 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.

7. If you have a passenger aboard your motorcycle, you should do all of the following, except:

Ride at speeds that are slower than usual.

Allow more distance to stop than usual.

Tell the passenger to hold onto the back of the bike.

A motorcycle that is carrying a passenger will handle differently than usual due to the added weight of the additional rider. An operator should ride at slower speeds and allow more time and distance to slow down and stop. A passenger should hold firmly and securely onto the motorcycle's passenger handgrips or onto the operator's waist, hips, or midsection.
