Motorcycle riders may focus too much on the road surface and miss hazards ahead or beside them.
Answer: True
Original explanation
Drivers of two-wheeled vehicles should try to widen their field of vision.
Simpler explanation
A narrow field of view can delay hazard detection. Riders should consciously look farther ahead and around them. Remember: Lift your eyes and scan widely.

Show the easier wording
If the front-right tyre has lower pressure, the steering pulls to the left.
Answer: False
Original explanation
The steering wheel will pull to the right because it is pulled to the side with a lower pressure tire.
Simpler explanation
The steering tends to pull toward the lower-pressure tyre, so it pulls right in this case. Remember: The car pulls toward the softer tyre.

When tires wear down, the frictional resistance between the road surface and the tires decreases. Braking distance increases but reaction distance is not affected.
Show the easier wording
Worn tyres increase braking distance but do not change reaction distance.
Answer: True
Original explanation
The reaction distance has nothing to do with worn tires because the brakes don't start to operate at the reaction distance.
