What should you try to predict while riding?
- Road conditions and street signs
- Actions other road users
- Signals and road markings
- All of the above ✓
Answer: D. All of the above
You should try to predict all of these: road conditions and street signs, the actions of other road users, and signals and road markings.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's collision-avoidance section tells riders to look ahead and predict the riding scene so they can avoid situations that need sudden emergency action. It also refers to other road users as part of that scene. The signs, signals and road markings chapter shows those features are information you read while riding. Together, these point to predicting the whole scene around you, not just one item, so the all-of-the-above choice fits.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Road conditions and street signs — Predicting only road conditions and street signs leaves out other road users and the signals and markings you also need to read.
- B. Actions other road users — Watching only other road users misses the signs, signals, markings and road conditions that are part of the riding scene.
- C. Signals and road markings — Paying attention only to signals and road markings ignores other road users and the road conditions around you.
Remember it
Scan the whole picture: signs, signals, markings, road surface and other people. Predict the scene, not just one piece.
