23. Pregunta 23 de 25

    You are following a car. Why is it usually better not to ride directly behind it in the centre of the lane?

    • DIt uses more fuel
    Ver respuesta

    Riding in the left or right portion of the lane lets the driver ahead see you in a mirror and lets you see past the vehicle.

24. Pregunta 24 de 25

    • AA dark tinted shield
    • BA clear, clean shield with no deep scratches

    • DNo shield, so you can see better
    Ver respuesta

    Tinted shields cut the light you need to see at night. Scratches also scatter light and blur your view.

    • BAs you leave the curve
    • CThere is no need to slow for a curve
    • DBefore you enter it, while the motorcycle is upright

    Brakes work best when the motorcycle is upright. Slow down before the curve so you can keep a steady throttle through it.
