1. The faster you drink alcohol:

The faster the alcohol is removed from your body.

The faster the alcohol accumulates in your body.

The less the alcohol affects your body.

The faster you drink, the faster the alcohol will accumulate in your body. Alcohol leaves a person's system at an average of one drink per hour. If you consume more than one drink in an hour, you will still have alcohol in your body after one hour has passed.

2. Using all three lane positions is:

Not encouraged because then you can never get used to any part of a lane.

Discouraged because it confuses other motorists.

Wise if you are adapting to changing conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. Vary your lane position as road and traffic conditions warrant.

3. You have an improved chance of avoiding serious injury in a crash if you wear all of the following, except:

A DOT-compliant helmet.

A leather jacket.

A sweatshirt.

Wearing a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant helmet can help protect you against head and neck injuries in the event of a crash. A jacket made of leather or sturdy synthetic material can also protect you against injuries.

4. When starting your motorcycle, the engine should be in:

First gear.

Neutral.

Third gear.

Make sure your motorcycle's transmission is in neutral before you start the engine. Most motorcycles have a neutral indicator on the speedometer that lights up when the ignition switch is on and the cycle is in neutral.

5. Will a DOT-compliant helmet limit a motorcyclist's view of the road?

Yes, a helmet dramatically reduces a rider's view to the sides.

It depends. Some DOT-compliant helmets limit a rider's view.

No. A DOT-compliant helmet will never limit a rider's view to the sides.

A U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet will allow you to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding.

6. When other vehicles are slowed or stopped:

A motorcyclist should not weave between lanes of traffic.

It is acceptable for a motorcyclist to weave in and out of traffic lanes.

A motorcyclist should ride in a straight line between two lanes.

Riding between rows of stopped or slowly moving vehicles can be dangerous. Vehicles may change lanes, doors may open, or arms may be stuck out of vehicles' windows. Despite their size, motorcycles need the full width of a lane to operate safely.

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.
