When entering or leaving a highway, a group of motorcyclists should drive
- alongside each other.
- single file. ✓
- in a staggered formation.
- in any order.
Answer: B. single file.
A group of motorcyclists should ride single file when entering or leaving a highway.
Why this is the answer
The handbook allows a staggered formation on an open road because it keeps the group close without having riders alongside one another. It then makes an exception for curves, turns, and entering or leaving a freeway: in those situations the group should be in a single line. Since the question asks about entering or leaving a highway, the formation the handbook calls for is single file.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. alongside each other. — Riding alongside each other is not the formation described; the handbook says staggered formation avoids having drivers alongside one another, and entering or leaving a freeway calls for a single line.
- C. in a staggered formation. — A staggered formation can be used on an open road, but the handbook says to use a single line when entering or leaving a freeway.
- D. in any order. — The handbook gives a specific formation for this situation rather than leaving the order to the group.
Remember it
Open road can stagger, but the highway entrance and exit squeeze the group into one line.
