1. Riding directly alongside another vehicle:

Can place you in the driver's blind spot.

Is better than riding behind the other vehicle.

Is safe because it limits your escape routes.

Should only be done during the day.

Avoid riding directly alongside another vehicle, since this may place you in the vehicle's blind spot. If the driver can't see you, they may enter your lane without warning. Riding alongside a vehicle is also dangerous because the vehicle will block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

2. Intersections are usually:

Safe since there is so much traffic there.

A dangerous spot for riders.

Difficult to figure out.

Safer than the open road.

Intersections can be dangerous because they present the greatest degree of potential conflict between motorcyclists and other drivers.

3. The proper footwear for riding a motorcycle:

Has long, loose laces.

Has short heels.

Has tall heels.

Is always sneakers.

When riding, you should wear sturdy footwear that is high enough to cover and support your ankles. Short-heeled footwear is best because taller heels may catch on rough surfaces. Laces should be tucked in so that they can't be caught on anything.

4. A shatter-resistant face shield:

Can protect a rider's face in a crash.

Is only useful in protecting riders from dirt.

Does not offer as much protection as goggles.

Should not be used with a helmet.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can provide protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles can protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A face shield also provides routine protection from dirt, dust, insects, rain, and pebbles.

5. When looking through a turn, you should:

Turn both your head and your shoulders to get a better look.

Turn just your head, not your shoulders.

Use only your mirrors.

Only move your eyes, not your head.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go. Turn just your head, not your shoulders, and keep your eyes level with the horizon.

6. To help other drivers see you, you should wear:

Darkly-colored clothes.

Brightly-colored clothes.

Lights.

A black jacket.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing will help you to be seen by other road users. Wear clothes that increase your visibility both during the day and at night.
