19. Signals on a motorcycle:

Serve little purpose since motorcycles are smaller than most other vehicles.

Are very important to alert other motorists to a rider's intentions.

Should not be used if no vehicles are close to the motorcycle.

Are more complicated than those on a car.

You are especially vulnerable as a motorcyclist, so it is very important to use your turn signals to alert others to your intentions. Always use them any time that you plan to change lanes or turn, even if you don't think anyone else is nearby.

20. The best source of information for your motorcycle is:

The owner’s manual.

A general book about motorcycles.

Someone who has a different type of motorcycle.

A television show about motorcycle riding.

To be sure you are familiar with the specific type of motorcycle that you are planning to ride, read the owner's manual before riding it for the first time. This is particularly important if you are riding a borrowed motorcycle.

21. Which of the following types of footwear is best for a motorcycle operator?

Sturdy boots

Tennis shoes

Shoes with loose laces

Sandals

Sturdy boots or shoes that are high enough to support the ankles can provide the best protection for motorcyclists. Laced up boots are best, but high-top boots or heavy shoes are fine. If a motorcyclist wears shoes that have long laces, they should be sure to securely tuck the laces away before riding.

22. Which of the following does not offer protection to a motorcycle rider?

A leather jacket

Boots that go over the ankle

A baseball cap that fits snugly

Gloves

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

23. Riding gloves are often:

Made of leather.

Made of wool.

Not pre-curved.

Unsafe for the rider.

Gloves designed for motorcycle riding are usually made of leather. In addition to improving your grip, gloves provide protection for a rider's hands and fingers.

24. Which types of brakes do most motorcycles have?

Front and emergency

Rear and emergency

Front and rear

Only a front brake

Motorcycles generally have one brake for each wheel. The front brake carries more braking power than the rear brake.

25. When checking tire pressure:

Eyeballing the tire is a good method.

Use a tire gauge.

It is best to squeeze the tire.

Compare the height of the tire to another tire.

You should use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure before every ride. An under-inflated tire may still look okay, so a visual check is not enough.
