8. What does a flashing red traffic light mean?

Come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.

Only stop to yield to other traffic.

Vehicles will be entering the roadway.

A flashing red traffic light means the same thing as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to all crossing traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when it is safe to do so.

9. Taking over-the-counter medication before riding:

Is usually fine since over-the-counter medications are never very strong.

Is acceptable all the time.

May affect your riding abilities and should be done with caution.

Many drugs, including legal prescription and over-the-counter medications, have side effects that can impair your ability to safely operate a motorcycle. Always talk to your doctor about how a new medication may affect your driving or riding abilities.

10. When slowing or stopping a motorcycle, you should:

Not change gears.

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

You should shift down through the gears with the clutch as you slow or stop. Remain in first gear while stopped so you can move quickly, if needed.

11. A passenger should sit:

In front of the operator.

Sidesaddle.

Behind the operator.

Motorcycle passengers should always sit behind the operator and hold firmly and securely onto the operator's waist, hips, or midsection. They may instead choose to hold onto handgrips, provided that the motorcycle is equipped with them. Passengers should never ride sidesaddle.

12. Unlike other substances, alcohol:

Is very quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Needs to be digested to enter the bloodstream.

Can improve your riding ability.

Unlike other substances, alcohol does not need to be digested before entering the bloodstream. It is absorbed directly through the walls of the stomach and small intestine, quickly reaching and affecting the brain.

13. 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.

14. 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.
