1. A sign that your front tire has gone flat is that your steering suddenly feels:

Heavy.

Loose.

Soft.

If steering suddenly feels heavy, it is possible that your front tire has gone flat. Stop riding and check your tires as soon as possible.

2. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pull to the side of the road until the rain stops.

When it starts to rain, the oily strip down the center of a lane is especially hazardous. Avoid this danger by riding in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track is often safest, but this can vary.

3. How do convex mirrors differ from regular mirrors?

They provide a more narrow view of the road.

They provide a wider view of the road.

They provide a better view of the road.

Convex mirrors are installed on many motorcycles. Compared to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road. However, convex mirrors can also make approaching vehicles seem farther away than they actually are.

4. As a rider, you can lessen your chances of being involved in an accident by:

Not looking ahead for hazards.

Refraining from using turn signals, as doing so could distract other drivers.

Being visible to other drivers.

To reduce the risk of a collision, be sure to make yourself visible, clearly communicate your intentions, maintain an adequate space cushion, search your path of travel, and identify and separate hazards. Always be prepared to react to any hazard that could arise.

5. The formation you should take when riding in a group:

Is always single-file.

Depends on the situation.

Is always staggered.

In general, it is best for a group to ride in a staggered formation. Move into a single-file formation when taking a curve, making a turn, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

6. When riding through a curve, you should:

Always ride in the right portion of the lane.

Always ride in the left portion of the lane.

Be flexible about your lane position.

Every curve is different, so there is no single best lane position for riding in all curves. Be prepared to change your lane position as road, traffic, and weather conditions change.

7. When you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing driver increases the danger of colliding with them, and riding on the side farthest from the driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.
