Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds are not easy to see; therefore, you should:
- Slow down when driving.
- Make constant visual checks. ✓
- Share a lane with a motorcycle.
Answer: B. Make constant visual checks.
Make constant visual checks, because motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds are small and easily hidden in your blind spots.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers, and that motorcycles are smaller and harder to see, so they can disappear in vehicle blind spots. Its guidance for sharing the road is to check for motorcycles and use your mirrors when changing lanes or entering a road. Doing that repeatedly is how you keep track of a vehicle that is easy to lose sight of, which is what the correct choice describes.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Slow down when driving. — Driving slower does not make a small vehicle any easier to spot in a blind spot, and the handbook's guidance for sharing the road with motorcyclists is about checking, spacing, and lane position rather than reducing your speed.
- C. Share a lane with a motorcycle. — The handbook warns you never to try to pass a motorcycle in the same lane and tells you to give a motorcycle the full lane whenever possible, so moving into a lane beside one is not the safe response to poor visibility.
Remember it
Small vehicles vanish in blind spots, so move your eyes and mirrors often instead of assuming a glance was enough.
