1. The center portion of a lane usually contains an oily strip. This part of the lane is:

Never safe for motorcyclists.

Usually safe, unless the road is wet.

Usually safe, unless it is sunny outside.

Always safe, no matter the weather conditions.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

2. Riding with a passenger:

Usually results in no difference in handling a motorcycle.

Is usually safe for beginning riders.

Can affect the handling of a motorcycle.

Is encouraged to get operators used to different riding situations.

A passenger puts extra weight on a motorcycle, which causes the motorcycle to handle differently. Only experienced riders should carry passengers.

3. When it starts raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

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

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Avoid riding down the center of a lane under wet conditions. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by the cars ahead of you. The left tire track will often be best, but this can vary depending on traffic and other conditions.

4. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.

5. You will ______ hear a tire going flat.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Seldom

Motorcyclists will seldom hear their tire go flat. Tire failure is more commonly indicated by a sudden change in handling.

6. Taking a turn too fast:

Is acceptable as long as you stay under the speed limit.

Is safer on a motorcycle than in a car.

Is acceptable as long as no vehicles are near you.

Can cause you to end up in another lane or leave the road.

Taking a turn too fast is dangerous. If you cannot hold the turn, you may end up turning into another lane or even off of the road entirely. Use caution when taking a turn.
