7 . When riding in a group while passing another vehicle, it is best to:
Pass in a staggered formation.
Riders in a group should overtake another vehicle one at a time. Each rider should complete their pass and resume their position in the group formation before the next rider begins to pass.
8 . Under normal conditions, you should maintain a _______ following distance.
Four-second
Under normal conditions, you should maintain a minimum following distance of four seconds. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.
9 . When riding a motorcycle, consistently scan the road:
As far ahead as possible.
Use your eyes to scan the road well ahead of your vehicle. Looking ahead will give you time to safely react to hazards before meeting them.
10 . Switching to a lower gear is also known as:
Coasting.
Shifting to a lower gear causes an effect similar to using the brakes. For this reason, downshifting is also known as engine braking.
11 . If your drive chain slips while you are riding, you should:
Ignore the chain.
A drive chain that slips or breaks while you are riding could lock the rear wheel and cause your motorcycle to skid. If the chain slips while you are riding, pull off the road and check the chain and sprockets. Tightening the chain may help. If the problem is a worn or stretched chain, or worn or bent sprockets, replace the chain, the sprockets, or both before riding again.
12 . If starting your motorcycle on an incline, you should:
Use both brakes while turning on the engine.
It is more difficult to get a motorcycle started and moving on an incline than it is on flat ground. When you are facing uphill, you run the danger of rolling back and dropping the bike. To prevent this, start the engine while holding the motorcycle with the front brake.
