Review all 3 questions with answers

  1. Who should generally serve as the lead and last, or sweep, riders?

    Correct answer: Experienced riders who can support the group’s safe organization.

    Experienced riders can monitor conditions, communicate changes and help keep the group organized. The sweep role also helps identify riders falling behind.

  2. Why does the manual advise group riders against traveling directly side by side in one lane?

    Correct answer: It removes space either rider may need to avoid a hazard.

    A nearby motorcycle can block an evasive path. Maintain an appropriate formation and spacing, and wait until stopped to have conversations.

  3. Only part of the group gets through before the signal changes. What should the riders ahead do?

    Correct answer: Wait at a safe place ahead so the others can obey the signal.

    Being in a group does not override traffic signals. A safe meeting point prevents pressure on separated riders to run the light or speed to catch up.
