  38. What should you predict when you see two people on a motorcycle, especially near intersections?

    Top view of a road with a double yellow center line meeting a side street. A red motorcycle with two helmeted riders, one behind the other, has its headlight lit. A blue car sits on the side street behind a white line, beside a red octagonal sign reading STOP.
    • Faster acceleration and shorter stopping distance
    • Easier balance because of the added weight
    • More problems, because balance and stopping are harder
    • Fewer problems because the rider is more careful
    Show answer

    Correct answer: More problems, because balance and stopping are harder

    A passenger makes balance harder, increases stopping distance and reduces maneuverability.

  84. In a collision, why can a moose be more deadly to motorists than a deer?

    A moose standing at the snowy edge of a road as a blue car approaches.
    • It is much smaller and harder to see in the daytime
    • It is much heavier and taller and can land on the car
    • It runs much faster than a deer on a highway
    • It always crosses the road in a large group
    Show answer

    Correct answer: It is much heavier and taller and can land on the car

    Moose weigh more than a thousand pounds and are much taller than deer, so in a collision they can land on the vehicle with crushing force.

  85. Why may a moose's eyes not reflect in a vehicle's headlights?

    A moose walking across a road with snow on both sides, ahead of a blue car.
    • Because moose are lighter in color
    • Because moose are smaller than deer
    • Because moose roam only in daylight
    • Because moose are taller
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Because moose are taller

    Moose are taller than deer, so their eyes may not reflect headlights, which makes them hard to see in the evening.
