1. A good way to handle tailgaters is to:

Change lanes and let them pass.

Ignore them.

Use your horn and make obscene gestures.

Speed up to put distance between you and the tailgater.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to change lanes and let them pass you. Speeding up may cause them to tailgate you at a higher speed, only increasing the danger.

2. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, you should:

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Relax on the handgrips.

If either of your tires go flat while you are riding, hold the handgrips firmly, ease off the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you need to brake, gradually apply the brake to the tire that is not flat. As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

3. When riding in a group, the best riding formation is generally:

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

A single-file line.

A pyramid formation.

A staggered formation is generally best when riding in a group. You should move into a single-file line when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or exiting a highway.

4. If taking a long trip, you should:

Try to minimize the number of rest breaks.

Use artificial stimulants, like caffeine, if you feel drowsy.

Dress warmly to avoid getting too cold during the ride.

Schedule more than 12 hours of riding a day.

To reduce the risk of fatigue on a long trip, dress to protect yourself from tiring elements, such as wind, cold, and rain. Limit yourself to no more than six hours of riding per day and take rest brakes at least every two hours. Avoid using artificial stimulants, as these only result in extreme fatigue when they wear off.

5. If you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings and your motorcycle begins to weave, you should:

Brake suddenly.

Steer in a weaving pattern.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the grooves.

Move to the leftmost portion of the lane.

A motorcycle may weave while riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, but this is generally not dangerous. If your motorcycle begins to weave, simply relax and proceed straight ahead at a steady speed. Trying to ride in a zigzag pattern to compensate for the weave will only increase the hazard.

6. One way to tell if your rear tire has gone flat while riding is if:

There is a hissing noise coming from the rear of the bike.

The back end is jerking from side to side.

You are unable to accelerate.

The rear brake does not work.

If your rear tire fails, the back of your motorcycle will likely jerk from side to side. It is rare for motorcyclists to actually hear a tire fail.

7. When it is obvious that you are going to turn, you:

Do not need to use a turn signal.

Should still use a turn signal.

Only need to use a turn signal if there are nearby pedestrians.

Only need to use a turn signal if you are at a stop light.

You must use proper turn signals every time you turn or change lanes, even if you think your intentions are obvious. Signals are always important, even if no one else seems to be around to see them. There may be other vehicles nearby that you can't see or haven't yet noticed.

8. If your motorcycle is being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick the dog away.

Ride alongside the dog.

Stop until the dog loses interest.

Approach the dog slowly, then speed up.

If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind. If you encounter a larger animal, brake and prepare to stop.
