1. Usually, a good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Move onto the shoulder to get out of their way.

Speed up and put distance between you and the tailgater.

Ignore them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Usually, the best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to follow you at a faster speed.

2. To be effective, eye or face shield protection must be all of the following, except:

Able to fasten securely.

Too tight to allow sunglasses or eyeglasses to be worn.

Free of scratches.

Able to allow clear views to both sides.

To be effective, an eye or face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through to prevent fogging; and allow room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.

3. When stopping, it is best to:

Grab at the front brake lever.

Keep your knees against the gas tank and keep your eyes up.

Apply increasing pressure to the rear brake.

Only use the front brake.

For maximum straight-line braking, you should apply the brakes smoothly and firmly. As more weight transfers forward, more will be more traction available at the front wheel, allowing you to apply the front brake with progressively increasing force while reducing the pressure being used on the rear brake. Keep your knees against the gas tank and your eyes up to help keep yourself moving in a straight line.

4. When passing parked cars, which part of the lane should you usually use?

The left portion of the lane

The center portion of the lane

The right portion of the lane

Either the left or right portion of the lane

When passing a row of parked cars, it is often safest to ride in the left portion of your lane. Riding in the left portion will keep you farthest from any opening car doors, people stepping out from between cars, and cars pulling out of parking spaces.

5. A child passenger:

Should be placed in front of the operator.

Should be placed behind the operator.

Does not have to be able to reach the footrests.

Should hold onto the motorcycle frame.

A child passenger on a motorcycle should always ride immediately behind the operator. A child sitting in front may be unable to balance properly and could interfere with the operator's use of the controls.
