3. When cars are merging from an entrance ramp:

A motorcyclist should assume the entering drivers see them.
A motorcyclist should never assume the entering drivers see them. ✓
A motorcyclist should stop.

Answer: B. A motorcyclist should never assume the entering drivers see them.

Never assume that drivers merging from an entrance ramp see you. The manual's merging section says drivers coming down an entrance ramp may fail to see a motorcycle already on the highway. It tells you to give them room, move to another lane if one is open, or adjust your speed to create space when you cannot change lanes. A broader warning says there are no guarantees that others see you, so do not rely on eye contact. That is why you should never assume a merging driver has noticed you; you have to manage the space yourself.

4. If passing another vehicle:

You may exceed the speed limit until the pass is complete.
You may disregard no passing zone markings if you began the pass in a passing zone.
You must observe the posted speed limit. ✓

Answer: C. You must observe the posted speed limit.

When you pass another vehicle, you must stay within the posted speed limit. The passing section of the manual walks you through the whole move: ride in the left part of your lane at a safe following distance, signal, check for oncoming traffic, check mirrors and blind spot, then move into the left lane and accelerate when it is safe. After the pass, you signal again and check before returning to your lane. The paragraph closes by saying passes must be completed within posted speed limits and only where permitted, and reminds you to know your signs and roadway markings. That sentence directly ties the speed limit to the pass itself, so gaining speed does not mean gaining permission to go over the limit.

5. When changing lanes:

Your mirrors can adequately show you your surroundings.
Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors. ✓
Activate your turn signal and immediately move to the right or left.

Answer: B. Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors.

When changing lanes, do a head check in addition to using your mirrors. The manual states plainly that checking your mirrors is not enough, because motorcycles have blind spots just as cars do. Before you change lanes, you turn your head and look to the side for other vehicles. In multi-lane situations you should also check the far lane, since a driver there may be aiming for the same space you want. Mirrors are part of scanning, but the manual wants a turn of the head before you commit to the move.
