1. Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are separated by:

White lines.

Yellow lines.

Road signs.

White lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction. Solid lines indicate that drivers are not permitted to pass, whereas dashed lines indicate that drivers are permitted to pass, if it is safe to do so.

2. The front brake supplies about how much of a motorcycle's potential stopping power?

About one-quarter

About one-half

About three-quarters

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. It can provide three-quarters of the bike's total stopping power.

3. To reduce the chances of a collision, you should:

Wear bright or reflective clothing.

Change lanes frequently.

Focus only on your riding, not on your surroundings.

Wearing bright or reflective clothing can help make you more visible to other drivers and reduce your risk of being involved in a collision. Always maintain an awareness of surrounding drivers to better prepare yourself for their movements.

4. If you have to ride over an object, you should:

Increase your speed.

Lean your motorcycle.

Slow down.

If you cannot avoid riding over an obstacle, you should approach it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down, make sure your motorcycle is straight, rise slightly off of your seat, and roll on the throttle just before contact.

5. To control a motorcycle well, a rider should:

Use their arms to steer, not to support their body.

Sit far enough back that their arms are not bent when reaching for the handle grips.

Keep their knees away from the gas tank.

When riding, you should be positioned so that you are able to easily operate all controls. Sit with your arms slightly bent and use your arms to steer rather than to hold yourself up. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance during turns.

6. Noise created by wind:

Is easy to get used to.

May cause irreversible hearing damage.

Is never a danger.

Long-term exposure to wind noise can permanently damage your hearing. Using proper ear plugs or other hearing protection when riding is recommended.

7. Locking your brakes can:

Be helpful in most situations.

Improve steering.

Cause control problems.

Locking the brakes can cause control problems. If your front brake locks, you should release the brake then immediately re-apply it. If you lock your rear brake when stopping on a good traction surface, keep it locked until you have completely stopped.
