Which of the following will affect motorcycle riders more than four-wheel vehicle drivers?
- Speed limit on highways
- Blood alcohol content
- Roads and weather conditions ✓
- Visibility of oncoming vehicles
Answer: C. Roads and weather conditions
Roads and weather conditions affect motorcycle riders more than four-wheel vehicle drivers.
Why this is the answer
The handbook tells riders to leave more space when weather is bad and to watch for sudden road surface changes, icy patches and black ice in cold weather. It also says other drivers may not expect motorcycles in winter, so riders must be more careful. Those motorcycle-specific warnings make roads and weather the choice that fits the passages.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Speed limit on highways — Highway speed limits are set for traffic generally, and the passages do not say they affect motorcycle riders more than four-wheel drivers.
- B. Blood alcohol content — The passages do not discuss alcohol or say blood alcohol content affects motorcycle riders more than four-wheel drivers.
- D. Visibility of oncoming vehicles — The passages mention seeing the road and being seen in cold weather, but they do not say visibility of oncoming vehicles affects riders more than four-wheel drivers.
Remember it
Treat wet, icy or patchy pavement as a signal to leave extra space and watch for sudden changes.
