Montana Motorcycle Permit: Safety & Hazards Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is you think someone may enter your lane without seeing you.

Use your horn when you think someone may enter your lane without seeing you.

Not quite. The answer is Watch the taillights of the vehicle ahead of you.

At night, watch the taillights of the vehicle ahead of you. If they seem to bounce up and down, the vehicle is likely riding over bumps.

Not quite. The answer is Signal right

When passing, signal left, and when safe, move into the left lane and accelerate. On Step 3, signal right, and complete mirror and head checks before returning to your original lane and then cancel the signal. Remember, passing must be completed within posted speed limits, and only where permitted.

Not quite. The answer is other vehicles will have difficulty seeing you in certain areas.

Blind intersections are dangerous because other vehicles will have difficulty seeing you from certain areas. Ride in a lane position that lets you be seen as soon as possible.

Not quite. The answer is Center

To be seen by the driver of the vehicle ahead of you, you should ride in the center lane position. This will put your image in the middle of the vehicle's rear-view mirror. If you ride in the left lane position, your image may appear in the vehicle's left side mirror. However, drivers tend to check their rear-view mirror more often than their side mirrors.

Not quite. The answer is 50%

A driver who is referred to the Driver Rehabilitation Program must pay a $50 fee to defray the cost of the program. On the other hand, once the driver completes the program successfully, he or she will receive a 50 percent discount on his or her license reinstatement fee.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

You can increase your visibility to other vehicle operators by flashing your brake light, wearing bright-colored clothing, and using your turn signals.

Not quite. The answer is soon after it has started to rain.

The pavement is likely to be slippery soon after it has started to rain. This is because the rainwater loosens oil and other fluids that have built up on the pavement. This slippery condition will persist until more rain washes those fluids away.

Not quite. The answer is move into the center lane position.

If you suspect that the driver of the vehicle ahead of you does not know that you are behind the vehicle, you should ride in the center lane position. This will put your image in the middle of the vehicle's rear-view mirror. If you ride in the left lane position, your image may appear in the vehicle's left side mirror. However, drivers tend to check their rear-view mirror more often than their side mirrors.

Not quite. The answer is steering.

When you ride a motorcycle, your arms should be used for steering, not for holding yourself up.

Not quite. The answer is Check your side mirrors frequently.

The most efficient way to know what is going on behind you is to check your side mirrors frequently.

Not quite. The answer is Center

To be seen by the driver of the vehicle ahead of you, you should ride in the center lane position. This will put your image in the middle of the vehicle's rear-view mirror. If you ride in the left lane position, your image may appear in the vehicle's left side mirror. However, drivers tend to check their rear-view mirror more often than their side mirrors.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

In the "evaluate" step of the SEE strategy, you are considering vehicles that may move into your path, potentially hazardous road conditions, and traffic signals and road markings.

Not quite. The answer is The left portion of the lane at a safe following distance

Passing and being passed by another vehicle is not much different than with a car. However, visibility is more critical. Before starting to pass, ride in the left portion of the lane at a safe following distance to increase your line of sight and make you more visible. Signal left and check for oncoming traffic. Use your mirrors and turn your head to look for traffic behind.

Not quite. The answer is the tires and the lights.

Before mounting your motorcycle, you should check the tires and the lights. These must all be in good working order on each trip because their failure could be extremely dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is flash your brake light.

If you're about to slow down where others might not expect it, you should tap the brake pedal to flash your brake light.

Not quite. The answer is At a lesser angle, you may catch your tires.

Cross tracks at an angle of at least 45 degrees to avoid catching your tires on the tracks. This could cause you to lose your balance or tip over.

Not quite. The answer is In all of the above situations

It is important to check your mirrors when you are about to change lanes, about to slow down, or stopped at an intersection.

Not quite. The answer is locking the front wheel.

A front-wheel skid can result from locking the front wheel.

Not quite. The answer is Watch its taillights to detect bumps in the road.

At night, watch the taillights of the car ahead of you. If they bounce, it means that there are bumps in the road you should be aware of.
