The exam will proceed to the next question as soon as you select the correct answer. If you select an erroneous response, the correct answer and an explanation will be provided.

19 . Pairing up while riding in a group is:
Discouraged because it makes the motorcycles look like a car to oncoming traffic.
Avoid pairing up with other riders. Riding in pairs is dangerous because the riders will block one another's escape routes if a hazard arises.
20 . A DOT-compliant helmet has all of the following, except:
Bright colors painted on the outside.
Any U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet is required to have an impact-resistant outer shell, an impact-absorbing inner liner, a comfort liner, and a chinstrap retention system.
21 . When riding at night, a motorcyclist should:
All of the above.
Riding at night can be dangerous because a rider’s ability to see and be seen by fellow motor vehicle operators is limited. It is recommended that riders adjust their riding behavior to compensate for this limited visibility by reducing their speed, maximizing their headlight usage, and increasing their following distance.
22 . When you are being passed by a vehicle on your left, you should:
Ride in the left portion of your lane
When being passed, it is best to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest to the passing vehicle increases the risk of a collision. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle is also dangerous because it may tempt them to merge back into your lane too soon. Stay in the center portion of the lane when being passed.
23 . If you are riding behind a car, you should:
Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.
When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.
24 . You should use your low beam headlight:
All of the above.
Use your high beam whenever you are not following or meeting a car, even during the day. Use your low beam when riding in fog.
25 . Do not change gears on railroad tracks because:
The uneven surface may make it more difficult to switch gears.
It is best not to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks. There is a chance your motorcycle might stall while you are on the tracks.
