1. To lessen your chances of being involved in an accident, you should:

Ride within a foot of the vehicle in front of you.

Wear dark clothing.

Signal only when you feel like it.

Stay alert and be prepared to act to avoid a crash.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

2. Experienced riders use the acronym "SIPDE" as a way to remain aware of conditions around them. What does the "E" stand for in "SIPDE?"

Explain

Error

Execute

Early

SIPDE is a five-step process that experienced riders use to make judgements and take action while traveling. The letters in SIPDE stand for Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, and Execute.

3. Keep an expanded cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you:

When conditions will make stopping more difficult than usual.

When you want to look at the scenery.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

To prevent the driver in front of you from knowing you are there.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a larger following distance.

4. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

5. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Do one, then the other.

Do both at the same time.

Always apply the brakes first, then swerve.

Try instead to use only the brakes.

If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should perform both actions separately. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake. Do not do both at the same time.

6. To carry a passenger, you must have:

An extra set of foot pegs for the passenger.

A seat that accommodates two people.

Proper gear for both yourself and the passenger.

All of the above.

To carry a passenger safely, you must have a seat that will properly accommodate both you and the passenger without crowding and a set of foot pegs for the passenger. Motorcycle passengers should wear the same types of protective gear that operators wear.
