Questions (3)
1. When passing parked cars, which part of the lane should you usually use?
- The left portion of the lane ✓
- The center portion of the lane
- The right portion of the lane
- Either the left or right portion of the lane
Answer: A. The left portion of the lane
When passing parked cars, you should usually use the left portion of your lane. The motorcycle manual says that when you pass parked cars, you should stay toward the left of your lane. It gives a concrete reason: this position helps you avoid problems caused by doors. The guidance is specific about which side of the lane to favor, so the correct choice is the left portion rather than the center or the right side.
2. When passing a row of parked cars to your right when there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should:
- Stay toward the right side of your lane.
- Stay toward the left side of your lane. ✓
- Look to your left frequently.
- Use your rearview mirrors more frequently than usual.
Answer: B. Stay toward the left side of your lane.
Stay toward the left side of your lane when passing a row of parked cars on your right. The manual gives a direct rule for passing parked cars: keep toward the left of your lane. That position gives you more room to deal with problems caused by car doors opening from the parked vehicles. Since the question says there is no oncoming traffic on your left, moving to the left part of your own lane does not put you into a head-on conflict. The instruction is about where you sit inside your lane, not about leaving your lane.
3. When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcycle operator should be prepared for:
- Open parking spaces.
- A motorist to unexpectedly pull out of a parking space and into traffic. ✓
- Parking meters.
- Other motorists to see the motorcycle and stay out of its way.
Answer: B. A motorist to unexpectedly pull out of a parking space and into traffic.
