Not quite. The answer is approach the animal and then speed away.

If a dog begins to chase you, you should approach the animal and then speed away. This should stop the dog from chasing you.

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

Drivers on an entrance ramp may not see you on the highway. Give them plenty of room. Move into another lane if one is open. If you cannot change lanes, adjust your speed to open up space for the merging drivers.

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

Before every lane change, you should check your mirrors and then look over your shoulder to check your blind spots.

Not quite. The answer is cross the tracks at a 45-degree angle.

If you need to cross railroad tracks that run parallel to your course, move far enough away from the tracks to cross them at an angle of at least 45 degrees. Crossing at a smaller angle could cause your tires to catch on the tracks and throw you off balance.

Not quite. The answer is at a smaller angle, you might 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 Watch the taillights of the car ahead of you.

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

Not quite. The answer is both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

To stop your motorcycle quickly and safely, apply both the front and rear brakes at the same time. This is the most effective stopping method.

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 Center

When it starts to rain, the center lane position can be hazardous because of the oil and fluid buildup. It is safest to ride in the tire tracks of other vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

When you are being passed by another vehicle, watch for extended side mirrors, objects being thrown from windows, and blasts of wind (especially from a larger vehicle).

Not quite. The answer is Move to the left portion of the lane

When you approach a blind intersection, move to the lane position that brings you into another driver’s field of vision at the earliest possible moment. In this particular situation, you should move to the left portion of the lane, so the driver on the cross street can see you as soon as possible.

Not quite. The answer is rise off the seat.

If you are riding over an obstacle on the road, the best way to absorb shock is to rise off the seat slightly and let your knees and elbows absorb the shock.

Not quite. The answer is being seen by the driver ahead of you.

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 use your turn signals to make yourself more visible to others.

When you enter a freeway, drivers approaching from behind are more likely to see your turn signal blinking and make room for you. At highway speeds, it is best to signal at least five seconds before changing lanes. Use your turn signals even when you think no one else is around. Your turn signals also make you easier to see. If bright sunlight makes your turn signal lights hard to see, use hand signals.

Not quite. The answer is stay in the center portion of your lane.

When you are being passed from behind, stay in the center portion of your lane. Riding close to the passing vehicle could put you in a hazardous situation.

Not quite. The answer is less; it has 25% of the stopping power

The rear brake is less important because it has 25% of the stopping power. Still, you should always use both the front and rear brakes to stop.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

You are more likely to fall when riding on wet pavement, metal gratings, or uneven surfaces because they do not provide as much traction.

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 Flash your brake light.

Warn the driver behind you that you are about to slow down by flashing your brake light. Do this by tapping the brakes.

Not quite. The answer is Fluorescent clothing

During daytime riding, wear fluorescent clothing to increase your visibility to other vehicle operators.
