  • B. Changing lanes too early
  • C. Using staggered formation
  • D. Leaving too much following distance
Why A. Following too closely is correct: The Utah crash list names following too closely as one of the top five reasons motorcyclists crashed, so riders should keep enough space to react. [Manual: Pages 1-6 — Top Five Crash Reasons, p. 1]
Manual excerpt (Official Utah Manual · Page 1): “1. Failure to yield right of way 2. Follow too closely 3. Failed to keep in proper lane”

Can an MSF RiderCourse waive the Utah motorcycle skills or written test?
In most states, completing an approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic RiderCourse waives the on-cycle skills test at the Utah Driver License Division, though many applicants still must pass the written motorcycle knowledge test to obtain their initial motorcycle learner's permit. Verify current waiver rules with the Utah Driver License Division.

Regardless of age-specific helmet laws, the official Utah motorcycle manual heavily tests DOT-compliant helmet selection, shatter-resistant eye protection (face shield or goggles), abrasion-resistant jackets and gloves, and over-the-ankle footwear.
