1. From ahead or behind, a motorcycle’s outline is _______ a car's.

Much larger than

Much smaller than

About the same as

A little larger than

The visual outline of a motorcycle is much smaller than that of a car, so it is easy for other road users to not notice you when you are on a motorcycle.

2. When traveling in a group, riders should:

Spread out to make the group easier to see.

Stay close together to make the group easier to see.

Separate occasionally.

Ride in pairs.

When riding in a group, riders should maintain close ranks while also allowing adequate space cushions around each rider. Staying close together makes the group easier to see and reduces the risk that riders will become separated. Riders should not pair up because doing so does not allow adequate room for them to maneuver.

3. Unlike most food and drinks, alcohol does not need to be digested. This means that:

Within minutes of being consumed, the alcohol reaches the brain and begins to affect the drinker.

The alcohol never gets removed from the body.

It takes a long time to feel the effects of alcohol.

Once it is in your system, your body gets rid of the alcohol quickly.

Because it does not have to be digested, alcohol enters a person's bloodstream quickly and reaches the brain within minutes. It gets eliminated from the body at a relatively slow rate: about one drink per hour.

4. Can a motorcycle share a lane with a passenger vehicle?

Yes, since a motorcycle is narrow.

Yes, if there is enough room.

No, a motorcycle requires a full lane to operate properly.

If traffic is congested, a motorcycle and car can share a lane.

Motorcycles and cars both need a full lane width for safe operation. Drivers and riders should not attempt to share lanes.

5. If you are riding when it starts to rain, it is a good idea to:

Ride down the center of the lane.

Increase your speed.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pull onto the shoulder of the road.

Because of the presence of oil deposits, the center strip of a lane can be hazardous when wet. When rain starts to fall, it is best to ride in the tire tracks left by cars. It is advisable to reduce your speed on wet surfaces.

6. When stopped behind another vehicle, you should:

Get as close as possible to the vehicle.

Maintain a space cushion between your motorcycle and the other vehicle.

Not use your rearview mirrors to monitor traffic behind you.

Look for opportunities to squeeze through the stopped traffic.

You should stay well behind the vehicle in front of you, even when you are both stopped. This will give you room to escape if the vehicle backs up unexpectedly or if another vehicle approaches too quickly from behind.
