1. Without a helmet, a motorcycle rider is ________ more likely to suffer a critical head injury in a crash.

Three times

Four times

Five times

Six times

Without a helmet, a rider is five times more likely to sustain a critical head injury in a crash.

2. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

3. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Means that they see you.

Guarantees that they will yield to you.

Doesn’t mean that they see you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

You should not rely on eye contact to guarantee that a driver will yield to you. It is not uncommon for a driver to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to actually notice them.

4. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation recommends a SEE strategy to make safe judgments while riding. What does "SEE" stand for?

Search, Evaluate, Execute

Scan, Enter, Exit

Slow, Early, Engine

Stop, Escape, Easy

Experienced riders use a SEE strategy while riding to make safe judgements. "SEE" stands for Search, Evaluate, and Execute.

5. How can you regain control if your rear tire locks up?

Release the rear brake.

Continue using the rear brake.

Swerve the bike in the direction with the fewest hazards.

With the brake engaged, try to accelerate.

To regain control of a locked rear wheel, the brake must be released. However, if you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped.

6. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually safest to approach the tracks:

By proceeding straight within your lane.

At a 45-degree angle.

At a 90-degree angle.

At a fast speed.

In general, it is safest to simply proceed straight in your lane when crossing angled railroad tracks. Turning to approach tracks at a right angle can be dangerous because it may send you traveling into another lane.
