1. If you will be carrying a passenger on your motorcycle, you will likely have to:

Reduce the tire pressure.

Make no tire pressure adjustments.

Increase the tire pressure.

Because a passenger will place additional weight on your motorcycle, you will probably need to add a few pounds of pressure to your tires before riding. Check your owner's manual for details regarding the appropriate pressure settings to use.

2. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Often balance out.

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

3. 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.

4. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between you and other vehicles?

At an intersection

On the highway

On any road

The potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other vehicles is greatest at intersections.

5. Reflective, brightly-colored helmets and clothing:

Should only be worn when riding at night.

Can help motorcycle riders be more visible.

Do not increase a motorcycle rider's safety.

Wearing brightly-colored or reflective clothing can increase your chances of being seen by other road users.

6. Convex mirrors:

Provide a narrow view of the road behind you.

Provide a wide view of the road behind you.

Are illegal.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. Take the time to get used to your mirrors if your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors.

7. Whichever style of helmet you choose, you will get the most protection by ensuring that your helmet:

Fits snugly.

Is clean.

Looks cool.

You will get the maximum protection from your helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects.
