  3. At intersections, which vehicles are the biggest danger to motorcyclists?

    • A Cars turning right behind you
    • B Trucks stopped at the light
    • C Cars turning left in front of you
    • D Pedestrians on the far corner
    Show answer

    C. Cars turning left in front of you

    Drivers turning left often misjudge a motorcycle's speed and distance and pull across its path. Slow down, cover your controls and be ready to act when a car waits to turn left.

  4. Your steering suddenly feels heavy. What is the most likely cause?

    • A The rear tire is going flat
    • B The front tire is going flat
    • C The chain is too loose
    • D The engine is overheating
    Show answer

    B. The front tire is going flat

    If the front tire goes flat, the steering will feel heavy, which is especially hazardous because steering keeps you balanced. You will seldom hear a tire go flat, so learn to recognize how it feels.
