Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Intersections: Blind Intersections, page 13.

D: Leave the motorcycle and arrange another way home, or wait until your system eliminates the alcohol.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Minimize the Risks: Make an Intelligent Choice, page 29.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Crash Avoidance: Swerving or Turning Quickly, page 17.

B: Toward the left of your lane. Stay toward the left to avoid opening doors, people getting out, or pedestrians stepping out; with oncoming traffic, the center position is usually best. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Intersections: Passing Parked Cars, page 13.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Step In to Protect Friends, page 29.

C: Snug enough not to flap in the wind, yet loose enough to move freely. Jacket and pants should cover arms and legs completely, fit snugly enough not to flap, yet loosely enough to move freely. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Preparing to Ride: Wear the Right Gear (Clothing), page 2.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Crash Avoidance: Swerving or Turning Quickly, page 17.

B: A car making a sudden U-turn. A driver making a sudden U-turn can block the entire road, so it is the most dangerous case. Slow down, get the driver's attention with your horn and proceed carefully. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Intersections: Passing Parked Cars, page 13.

D: Stop at a safe point ahead and wait. Riders who got through should stop at a safe point ahead and wait, so the others don't feel pressured to speed or run the red light. Make the turn single file. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Group Riding: Intersections, page 25.

B: Move far enough away to cross it at an angle of at least 45 degrees, then make a deliberate turn.

C: Running wide in a curve or turn and hitting the roadway or a fixed object. Many single-vehicle crashes happen when a rider runs wide in a curve or turn and leaves the road or hits something fixed. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Crash Avoidance: Curves, page 18.

A: In single file, forming up only after all riders have safely merged. Enter freeways in single file and form up only after everyone has merged; staggered formation is essential once on the freeway. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Group Riding: Interstate Highways and Freeways, page 25.

D: Relax, keep a steady speed and ride straight across. Gratings and rain grooves cause a wandering feeling that is usually harmless. Relax, hold a steady speed and go straight over; angling across makes you zigzag, which is much more dangerous. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Handling Dangerous Surfaces: Grooves and Gratings, page 20.

B: No; riding impaired by marijuana is not legal, safe or wise, and you can be convicted of riding under the influence.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Marijuana and Motorcycle Operation, page 29.

C: To prevent dehydration, as well as to protect you in a crash.

Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Preparing to Ride: Wear the Right Gear (Clothing), page 2.

C: Before or after the swerve, never while swerving. Separate braking from swerving: brake before or after, never while swerving. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Crash Avoidance: Swerving or Turning Quickly, page 17.

C: Start at the outside, move toward the inside as you turn, then to the outside to exit. Start at the outside to see farther and widen the turn's radius, move toward the inside, and after the center move outside to exit. Class M Motorcycle Operator Manual 2025-2027 (contains the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual, Revised 2023): Crash Avoidance: Curves, page 18.
