Motorcyclists are entitled to the use of…?.
- A quarter of a lane
- A full lane ✓
- Half a lane
- Two thirds of a lane
Answer: B. A full lane
Motorcyclists are entitled to the use of a full lane.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says motorcycles use a full lane and should be treated like other vehicles. That means you should not try to fit a motorcycle into a smaller slice of the lane beside you; give it the same lane space you would give a car. The same passage notes that motorcycles are harder to see and less protected, which supports giving them the whole lane rather than crowding them.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. A quarter of a lane — A motorcycle is not limited to a quarter of a lane; the handbook says it uses a full lane.
- C. Half a lane — The handbook does not give a motorcycle half a lane; it says motorcycles use a full lane.
- D. Two thirds of a lane — Two thirds of a lane is still less than the full lane the handbook says a motorcycle uses.
Remember it
When you see a motorcycle ahead, picture a car-sized space around it and leave that whole space to it.
