Questions (4)
1. If you are passing a row of parked vehicles to your right and there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should ride:
- In the left portion of your lane. ✓
- In the right portion of your lane.
- In the center of your lane.
Answer: A. In the left portion of your lane.
Ride in the left portion of your lane when passing parked vehicles on your right and no oncoming traffic is present on your left. The manual says your lane position should help you see and be seen, keep a space cushion, and avoid hazards. It also shows moving to the left portion of the lane to get away from a parked car. With parked vehicles lined up on your right, riding in the left portion gives you more separation from them and puts you where other drivers are more likely to notice you. Since there is no oncoming traffic on your left, using that side of your lane is the sensible choice.
2. When parked on the road, a motorcycle should:
- Create an angle with the curb that is between 45 and 90 degrees. ✓
- Be parked without a wheel or fender touching the curb.
- Be parked parallel to the curb.
Answer: A. Create an angle with the curb that is between 45 and 90 degrees.
When you park a motorcycle at the roadside, put it at an angle to the curb with the rear wheel toward the curb. The manual's roadside parking guidance says that when you park in a parallel space next to a curb, you position the motorcycle at an angle with the rear wheel to the curb. It also notes that some cities have ordinances requiring motorcycles to park parallel instead, so the angle is the general rule and the local law can override it. The passage does not spell out a specific degree range; it only says at an angle. For three-wheel motorcycles the manual gives different advice, since their size and limited mobility make the usual angled position impractical.
3. How should you park a motorcycle in a parallel parking space next to a curb?
- Position the motorcycle at an angle with the rear wheel to the curb. ✓
- Position the motorcycle at an angle with the front wheel to the curb.
- Position the motorcycle on the grass, away from the curb.
Answer: A. Position the motorcycle at an angle with the rear wheel to the curb.
Park the motorcycle at an angle in the parallel space with the rear wheel toward the curb. The manual's roadside parking section directly covers this. In a parallel space beside a curb, it tells you to angle the bike so its rear wheel faces the curb. It also warns that some cities require motorcycles to park parallel to the curb, so local rules can override the default. This matches the bank answer. The three-wheel section is about a different setup and speaks of parking parallel to make leaving the space easier, so it does not undercut the guidance for this situation.
4. When passing a row of parked cars, you should:
- Ride on the left side of the lane. ✓
- Ride wherever you are most comfortable.
- Ride in the right portion of the lane.
Answer: A. Ride on the left side of the lane.
When passing a row of parked cars, ride on the left side of your lane. The manual's section on passing parked cars says to stay toward the left of your lane. It gives that position as the way to avoid problems caused by doors. So the correct choice is the left side of the lane, not the right portion or a spot chosen only for comfort.
