1. Approved helmets:

Can limit the view of the motorcycle operator.

Allow the motorcycle operator to see as far to the sides as necessary.

Are dangerous to wear.

Do not have to be worn if the motorcycle operator thinks their view would be limited.

While some people worry that wearing a helmet may dangerously limit their field of vision, this is not the case. Any approved helmet will let the operator see as far to the sides as is needed for safe riding.

2. A motorcycle operator can improve their visibility by:

Wearing darkly-colored clothing.

Turning off their headlight.

Following another vehicle very closely.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing.

To maximize your chances of being seen by other road users, you should wear brightly-colored clothing with reflective materials, use your headlight at all times, and use your signals and brake light properly.

3. It is difficult for other motorists to see motorcycles at night. To make up for that, a motorcycle rider should:

Reduce their speed when riding at night.

Sound their horn repeatedly when riding at night.

Not ride at night.

Stay directly in front of another vehicle to be seen in their headlights when riding at night.

Strategies for safely riding at night include reducing your speed, increasing your following distance, using the lights of the car ahead to help see farther down the road, using your high beam headlight (unless following or meeting another vehicle), and being flexible about your lane position.

4. As you slow or stop, you should:

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

Take the bike out of gear.

Stay in the same gear.

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

5. A DOT-compliant helmet has all of the following, except:

An impact-resistant outer shell.

An impact-absorbing inner liner.

A chinstrap retention system.

Bright colors painted on the outside.

Any U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet is required to have an impact-resistant outer shell, an impact-absorbing inner liner, a comfort liner, and a chinstrap retention system.

6. A motorcycle operator can slow down by:

Downshifting.

Upshfting.

Cross-shifting.

Rolling on the throttle.

Motorcyclists often slow down by simply downshifting. Motorcyclists should be aware that slowing down in this manner does not activate the brake lights.
