11. How does a wet road change the distance you need to stop?
Show answer
Answer C: It lengthens it, so you need a much bigger gap ahead

Passing several vehicles in one move keeps you in the oncoming lane far too long and leaves nowhere to go if a vehicle appears.
-
16. An object thrown up by another vehicle strikes your face shield. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Keep both hands on the handlebars and your eyes on the road, then stop when it is safe to check
Letting go of the handlebars or looking away is far more dangerous than the impact itself, so keep control first and inspect the damage after you have stopped safely.
-
17. A yellow lamp flashes above a warning sign at a sharp curve. What does it ask of a driver?

Show answer
Answer D: Build it up to about the speed of the traffic you are joining
