1. When you ride, the best gear to wear is:

Any gear that helps to protect you.

The lowest-priced gear.

Gear that looks good.

Any gear that fits.

You should wear gear that helps protect you while you ride. It is best to wear a DOT-approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

2. A danger of riding next to a row of parked cars is:

You may not find a parking spot.

A driver may unexpectedly pull out from the row into your path.

Others may be driving slowly while looking for a parking spot.

The road may be uneven.

Riding next to parked cars presents a number of potential dangers. A driver might pull out of parking space and into your path without looking. Car doors may be opened into your lane and pedestrians may step out from between cars.

3. Before mounting a motorcycle, you should check all of the following, except:

The air pressure in the tires.

Fluid levels.

The turn signals.

Damage to the paint.

Before getting on a motorcycle, you should check the tread and air pressure of the tires, the oil and fluid levels, the lights, and the signals.

4. A pre-ride inspection usually takes:

A few minutes and should be done no more than once a month.

A few minutes and should be done before every ride.

Over an hour and should be performed by a mechanic.

Over an hour and must only be done if you will be carrying a passenger.

Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection before every ride. It should usually take only a few minutes.

5. If you borrow a motorcycle:

Don’t worry about checking the tire pressure.

Expect it to handle the same as your own bike.

The lender will make sure the brakes work so you don't have to.

Give yourself an extra cushion of space when riding to allow more time to react.

If you borrow a motorcycle, make all of the same pre-ride safety checks that you would make on your own motorcycle. You should ride cautiously when using an unfamiliar motorcycle and allow yourself extra space when stopping.

6. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.
