Not quite. The answer is the lane next to you and the far lane.

Before changing lanes, you should check not only the lane next to you but the far lane as well. Someone from the far lane may be planning to merge into the same lane that you are.

Not quite. The answer is slowing down suddenly when you merge back in front of the vehicle.

Large, heavy vehicles require a longer stopping distance than motorcycles. If you pull in front of a large vehicle and then slow down suddenly, the large vehicle may not have enough room to avoid rear-ending you.

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

To see better at night, use your high beam and avoid wearing a tinted face shield. If the taillights of the car ahead of you appear to be bouncing up and down, the car is likely riding over bumps.

Not quite. The answer is 3

If your license is revoked for excessive point accumulation twice in five years, you will be unable to obtain a new license for three years.

Not quite. The answer is it does not mean the driver has seen you.

Eye contact is not a guarantee that drivers will yield to you. Often, they don't notice motorcyclists even when they are looking directly at them. Always use caution at intersections.

Not quite. The answer is dirt and gravel provide little traction.

The edge of the road is dangerous for motorcycles because the dirt and gravel that build up there provide little traction for motorcycles.

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

Watch the taillights of the car ahead of you. If they appear to be bouncing up and down, the car is likely riding over bumps.

Not quite. The answer is farther away than they are.

A motorcycle's convex side mirrors make cars seem farther away than they actually are.

Not quite. The answer is a foot pedal.

The rear brake is controlled by the right foot pedal. The front brake is controlled by the right hand lever.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above are correct.

You should do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal. If you are in traffic, however, stay in your lane. Hitting something small is less dangerous to you than hitting something big – like a car. If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach the animal slowly. As you approach it, accelerate away and leave the animal behind. Don't kick at an animal. Keep control of your motorcycle. For larger animals (deer, elk, cattle), brake and prepare to stop; they are unpredictable.

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 with elbows slightly bent.

To maintain adequate control of the motorcycle, your arms should be positioned with elbows slightly bent.

Not quite. The answer is Being low on oil

If an engine locks, it is likely low on oil. Always check your oil before starting a trip. If needed, add oil as soon as possible or else the engine may seize.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

Before you mount your motorcycle, you should check the tires, fluids, and signal lights.

Not quite. The answer is only using one brake.

To ride safely on slippery surfaces, use both the front and rear brakes. The front brake is still more effective than the rear brake, even on a slippery surface. Apply it gradually to avoid locking the front wheel, and apply the rear brake gently.

Not quite. The answer is flash your brake light whenever you think it may not be seen.

Motorcycle brake lights are not as noticeable as car brake lights. Flash your brake light whenever you think it may not be seen.

Not quite. The answer is the rear brake

When starting a motorcycle facing uphill, you need to keep it from rolling backward. Use the front brake to hold your motorcycle while you start the engine and shift into first gear. Change to the rear brake to hold your vehicle while you operate the throttle with your right hand. Slowly open the throttle for more power and slowly release the clutch. (If you release it too quickly, the front wheel may lift off the ground or the engine may stall.) Ease off the rear brake as the engine slows down and engages.

Not quite. The answer is the front brake.

75% of your motorcycle's stopping power is provided by the front brake. Still, you should always use both the front and rear brakes to stop.

Not quite. The answer is you are about to slow down where others might not expect it.

When you slow down where others might not expect it, warn the driver behind you by flashing your brake light.
