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

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Alabama

1. When stopping your motorcycle while carrying a passenger, you should:

Ride a little faster than you normally would.

Start slowing earlier than you normally would.

Merge into smaller gaps of traffic than you normally would.

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. To accommodate the change in handling when carrying a passenger, you should reduce your speed, begin slowing down earlier when you stop, and look for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

2. Mirrors on motorcycles:

Have blind spots, just like cars.

Do not have blind spots.

Are not required.

The mirrors of motorcycles have blind spots, just like those of cars. Always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

3. To shift up to a higher gear, you must:

Place your foot under the shift lever and lift.

Place your foot over the shift lever and push.

Use your thumb to move the lever.

To shift up to a higher gear, position your foot under the shift lever and lift.

4. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Often balance out.

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

5. When riding at night:

Only ride in the left portion of the lane to better see around other vehicles ahead.

Ride closely to the vehicle in front of you to most effectively use their headlights.

Reduce your speed to increase your chances of avoiding an unexpected hazard.

At night, you should always ride at a lower speed than you would under similar conditions during the day. Doing so will give you a better chance of avoiding hazards. Additionally, increase your following distance and be flexible about your lane position.

6. When riding a motorcycle:

The mirrors provide a perfect view.

The mirrors do not show your blind spots.

The mirrors should not be used, except when parking.

As with any other vehicle, the mirrors of a motorcycle have blind spots. Always turn your head to check for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes.

7. The oily strip down the center of a lane:

Should only be traveled upon if you are sharing the lane with another vehicle.

Usually provides adequate traction for riding, unless it is raining.

Should be avoided at all times.

While the center strip of the road can be oily, it usually provides enough traction for safe riding, unless it is raining. The oily strip is usually no more than two feet wide, so motorcyclists can generally ride on either side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.
