1. If you are not traveling slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, what could happen?

Your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid.

The horn may go off.

Your motorcycle may lurch and the front tire may skid.

Your motorcycle may lurch and a warning light will go on.

If you are not riding slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid, causing you to lose control of your motorcycle. Be sure that you are moving slowly enough before shifting into a lower gear.

2. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

3. 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.

4. Where is the front brake lever usually located?

On the left handgrip

On the right handgrip

By the left foot peg

By the right foot peg

The front brake lever is generally located on the right handgrip. Make sure that you are aware of the locations of all your motorcycle's controls before beginning to ride.

5. When braking on a slippery surface, you should:

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Use abrupt pressure on the front brake to prevent locking the front tire.

Only use the rear brake.

Use either brake, but use only one brake.

When riding on slippery surfaces, you should use both brakes to slow down. Squeeze the brake lever gradually to avoid locking the front wheel and use gentle pressure on the rear brake.

6. A motorcyclist can discourage other vehicles from lane sharing by:

Riding in the left portion of a lane.

Riding in the center portion of a lane.

Giving dirty looks if another driver moves into their lane.

Riding in a zigzag pattern to fill up a lane.

Any time a driver may be tempted to try to squeeze into your lane next to you, ride in the center portion of the lane to discourage them from doing so.
