An example of thinking like a rider is

1. stopping to help someone on the side of the road.
2. carrying your health insurance card.
3. not passing on a hill. ✓
4. All of the above

Answer: C. not passing on a hill.

Thinking like a rider includes choosing not to pass on a hill, because a hill can hide what is coming toward you.

Why this is the answer

The handbook's see-think-do section describes riding as a two-step thinking job: assess the risk, then choose the best solution. In the hill example, the rider climbing a steep hill cannot see what is beyond the crest, and when the crest is reached there is a truck oncoming and a car already passing in the rider's own lane. Deciding not to pass where your view ahead is blocked is exactly that kind of risk assessment, so it fits the description of thinking like a rider.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. stopping to help someone on the side of the road. — Stopping to help someone at the roadside is a helpful thing to do, but the handbook presents thinking like a rider as assessing hazards and picking the best riding solution, not as roadside assistance.
• B. carrying your health insurance card. — Carrying a health insurance card is paperwork you keep with you, and nothing in the passages describes it as part of the see-think-do thinking process.
• D. All of the above — Not all of these fit, because the handbook's thinking-like-a-rider process covers spotting hazards and choosing a safe solution, which the insurance card and the roadside stop do not describe.

Remember it

Before you pull out to pass, ask what you can see past the crest or curve; if the honest answer is nothing, hold your position.
