How does a motorcyclist divide a lane to determine positioning:

  1. Into three portions

  2. Ride as if you are invisible to others

  3. Search ahead, behind, and to the sides

  4. Have the time to respond smoothly for problems

The correct answer is: Search ahead, behind, and to the sides

When a motorcyclist divides a lane to determine positioning, they should search ahead, behind, and to the sides. This is because being aware of your surroundings from all angles allows you to anticipate any potential hazards or obstacles on the road. By constantly scanning your environment, you can react promptly and make informed decisions while riding. Therefore, option C is the correct choice in this scenario.
