Explanation:

Question 1

Defensive motorcycle riding involves actions that increase safety. Using headlights, being visible, and communicating intentions are recommended. Maintaining a space cushion (distance from other vehicles) is a key defensive driving practice. Options A, B, and C are unsafe practices.

Lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) is illegal in many places and generally not considered safe or prudent, even if some might think it could be done safely. So the statement is false.

As a motorcycle passenger, you should lean with the driver (for balance), wear a proper helmet, and keep feet on passenger pegs. Leaning opposite to the driver would disrupt balance and is unsafe.

Answer:

D. Maintain an adequate space cushion
