Passing Score 35

1. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

You may prevent another vehicle from passing you.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.

2. If taking a long trip, you should:

Try to minimize the number of rest breaks.

Use artificial stimulants, like caffeine, if you feel drowsy.

Dress warmly to avoid getting too cold during the ride.

Schedule more than 12 hours of riding a day.

To reduce the risk of fatigue on a long trip, dress to protect yourself from tiring elements, such as wind, cold, and rain. Limit yourself to no more than six hours of riding per day and take rest brakes at least every two hours. Avoid using artificial stimulants, as these only result in extreme fatigue when they wear off.

3. To swerve correctly:

Shift your weight quickly.

Turn the handlebars quickly.

Press the handgrip in the direction of the turn.

Press the handgrip in the direction opposite of the turn.

To execute a swerve, press the handgrip on the side of your desired turn. Press on the opposite handgrip to return to your original direction after you are clear of the hazard.

4. How does the stopping distance for motorcycles compare to the stopping distance for cars?

Cars need much longer to stop.

Cars need a little longer to stop.

Motorcycles need longer to stop.

Both motorcycles and cars take about the same amount of time to stop.

Under normal conditions, the stopping distances for motorcycles is nearly the same as it is for cars. However, slippery pavement makes quick stops especially difficult for motorcycle operators.

5. To stop quickly, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both brakes.

Use the rear brake firmly while gradually increasing the braking pressure of the front brake.

To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time.

6. If you began a curve on the outside and no traffic is present when you are exiting the curve, you should move:

Toward the center of the curve.

Toward the inside of the curve.

Toward the outside of the curve.

If no traffic is present when you are taking a curve, start on the outside of the curve to increase your line of sight and the effective radius of the turn. As you turn, move toward the inside of the curve. As you pass the center of the curve and prepare to exit, move back toward the outside position. Remain aware of changing road and traffic conditions and adjust as necessary.

7. Who should set the pace in a group of riders?

The leader

The riders just behind the leader

The rider in back

The oldest rider

The last rider in a group of motorcyclists should set the pace of travel. Having the last rider set the pace will ensure that no riders are left behind.

8. Which of the following is not a benefit of maintaining a space cushion between your motorcycle and other vehicles?

You will have time to react to hazards.

You will have space to maneuver.

You will have more time to accelerate when entering a curve.

Maintaining a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times helps ensure that you will have time to react and space to maneuver if someone else on the road makes a mistake.
