Which of the following statements about motorcycles is true?
Correct answer
- It is legal to share a lane with a motorcycle or moped.
- It can be difficult to judge the speed and distance of a motorcycle.
- Maintain the same following distance behind a motorcycle that you would behind a car.
Explanation
It can be difficult to judge how far away a motorcycle is or how fast it is going. Leave a greater following distance behind a motorcycle than you would leave behind a car. Motorcycles must follow the same rules of the road as cars do. Before you may turn left, you must yield to all oncoming vehicles, motorcycles included. However, the turn signals on some motorcycles aren't self-canceling, and the rider may forget to cancel the turn signal manually. Therefore, before you turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle that has its turn signal on, be sure that the rider is actually slowing to turn.
