Questions (1)
1. Of the crashes involving both a motorcycle and a car, how many are caused by the driver failing to properly yield the right-of-way to the rider?
- About 10 percent
- About 25 percent
- Over 50 percent ✓
- About 90 percent
Answer: C. Over 50 percent
Over 50 percent of motorcycle/car crashes are caused by drivers failing to yield the right-of-way to the rider. The manual says that at intersections, where traffic can cross your path, more than half of motorcycle/car crashes come from drivers who violate the rider's right-of-way. That is the same idea as failing to yield to the rider. So the share is a majority, which matches "Over 50 percent." The manual also points to left-turning cars and cars pulling out from side streets as major dangers, which fits its warning that riders should not assume others will see them or yield.
