1. Two vehicles on different roads reach a four-way stop at exactly the same moment. Who goes first?

2. If a car could possibly enter your path, what assumption should you make?
Correct answer: Assume it will enter your path, and be ready
Assume that if a car can enter your path, it will, and be ready to act; good riders look for trouble in order to stay out of it.

3. What does Illinois require of a rider entering or leaving a roundabout?

4. An emergency vehicle comes up behind you with its siren and lights going. What must you do?
Correct answer: Pull over to the right edge of the roadway and let it go by
Move promptly to the right edge and let it by; a full stop is sometimes needed, and if you are already stopped at an intersection you stay put until it has cleared.

5. At a blind intersection with a stop sign, what is the correct approach after your first stop?
Correct answer: Edge forward and stop again to look around obstructions before proceeding
Stop at the sign or line, then creep ahead and halt a second time just before the cross traffic, leaning out to peer around anything blocking your view while your front wheel stays clear of the crossing lane.

6. Which vehicles are the biggest danger to a rider at an intersection?
Correct answer: Vehicles turning left across your path
Vehicles turning left in front of you, including those turning from the lane to your right or pulling out from side streets, are the biggest intersection dangers.

7. A vehicle is waiting on an entrance ramp to merge onto the highway. What should you do?
Correct answer: Give them room, change lanes if you can, or adjust speed to make space
Give a merging driver plenty of space; move over to an open lane if you can, or ease your speed to make room.

8. You are on the road that ends at a T intersection where no signs or signals are posted. Who yields?
Correct answer: You yield to the traffic on the road that continues
The road that dead-ends gives way; you must yield to the traffic already traveling on the road that continues through.

9. How much should you rely on eye contact with a driver as a sign they will yield?
Correct answer: Not at all; eye contact does not mean they will yield
Never count on eye contact as proof a driver will yield; drivers often look right at motorcyclists and still fail to see them.

10. A pedestrian has stepped into a marked crosswalk ahead of you. What is required?
Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and yield to the pedestrian
Illinois requires a full stop and the right of way for anyone walking in a marked crosswalk.

11. Where does the greatest potential for conflict with other traffic occur?
Correct answer: At intersections
More than half of motorcycle-car collisions happen because a driver moves into the rider's right of way, so use SIPDE at every crossing.
