Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in South dakota

1. You have an improved chance of surviving a crash if you wear:

A DOT-compliant helmet.

A baseball cap.

Comfortable shoes.

You will get the most head and neck protection from a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. The single most effective thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving a crash is wear a properly secured, good-quality helmet.

2. To increase your chances of being seen by other road users, you should:

Wear brightly-colored clothing.

Wear dark clothing.

Follow other vehicles closely.

To be more visible to other road users, you should choose brightly-colored clothing for riding. Bright orange, red, yellow, or green clothes are best. Reflective material can also help.

3. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should do all of the following, except:

Scan your path ahead.

Be ready to act to avoid a hazard.

Turn your headlight off during the day.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

4. You should flash your brake light to:

Tell other motorists that you are riding near them.

Help other motorists see your motorcycle while traveling in slow traffic.

Tell other motorists that you are going to slow down or stop where they don't expect you to do so.

Motorcycle riders should use their brake lights to communicate with other road users. It is particularly important for a motorcyclist to flash their brake light before slowing down to make a tight, fast turn off of a high-speed roadway. Motorcyclists should flash their brake lights when slowing in any location where other drivers may not expect them to slow down.

5. If you borrow a motorcycle, you should:

Assume all controls are in the same location as they are on your motorcycle.

Immediately take it out on the highway.

Get familiar with it in a controlled area.

All motorcycles are at least somewhat different. Before riding a motorcycle that is new to you, take the time to learn where all of the controls are. Ride the motorcycle in a controlled area to get used to it before taking it out on the road.

6. When carrying a passenger, a motorcycle responds to directional changes:

More slowly than usual.

More quickly than usual.

Normally.

A passenger places extra weight on a motorcycle. Because of the added weight, the motorcycle will respond to the operator's movements more slowly than it would otherwise, taking more time to speed up, slow down, and turn.
