43 . When making a turn:
Stopping should never be attempted.
It is possible to brake while turning, but it should be done with great care. When a motorcycle is leaning to turn, there is less traction available for stopping because some of the traction is being used for turning.
44 . Where should a load be placed?
On one side of the motorcycle
Loads should kept low, either fastened securely or in saddlebags. Piling loads against a sissy bar or frame on the back of a seat is dangerous because it can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and change the balance of the motorcycle. Loads should be equally distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
45 . This sign means:
Added lane.
Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers that they may encounter traffic coming from the opposite direction.
46 . Which of the following surfaces is unlikely to provide poor traction for motorcyclists?
Metal plates
A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
47 . When riding behind another vehicle under normal conditions, maintain a minimum following distance of:
Four seconds.
Under normal conditions, you should always maintain a following distance of at least two seconds. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.
48 . This sign means:
Do not block intersection.
Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign alerts drivers to potential traffic merging from the right. Drivers should prepare to allow the traffic to merge safely.
49 . A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:
Does not protect your face as well as goggles.
A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your whole face in a crash. While goggles can protect your eyes, they won't protect the rest of your face. A windshield is not a substitute for a face shield or goggles.
50 . A person who is age 21 or older is considered legally intoxicated with a minimum breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) of:
0.08 percent.
A person who is above the legal drinking age is considered legally intoxicated if their breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is 0.08 percent or higher. It is both dangerous and illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
