13. What can help reduce the risk of a head or neck injury in the event of a crash?

Riding on the shoulder

Riding under the speed limit

Wearing a helmet

Not allowing a passenger on the motorcycle

Wearing a helmet is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce the risk of head or neck injuries in the event of a crash.

14. When carrying a passenger, you should:

Equip and adjust your motorcycle to carry the passenger.

Ride as you would without a passenger.

Ensure that footrests are available for only you, the operator.

Instruct the passenger after you begin your trip.

You should transport a passenger only if your motorcycle is appropriately equipped and adjusted to do so. Among other things, your motorcycle should have separate footrests for the passenger and a seat that is large enough for more than one person to sit comfortably. You may need to adjust your headlight, tire pressure, and suspension to accommodate the extra weight of a passenger.

15. A simple way to make your motorcycle easier to see is to:

Ride with a large flag attached to its frame.

Ride with the headlight turned on.

Wave at other drivers.

Ride on the shoulder whenever possible.

You can make yourself easier to see by wearing brightly-colored, reflective clothing. Ride with your headlight on at all times and use your turn signals and brake light appropriately.

16. If you are using an unfamiliar motorcycle, what should you do before riding?

Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

17. An approved helmet:

Allows the wearer to see as far to the sides as necessary.

Restricts the field of vision.

Is usually uncomfortable.

Does not have any markings or tags.

Any approved helmet will allow a rider to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding. Approved helmets will have labels and markings providing the manufacturer's name, relevant information and instructions, and information about the standards the helmet meets.

18. The proper clothing for riding a motorcycle should:

Cover your arms and legs completely.

Cover your arms completely, but leave your legs exposed.

Cover your legs completely, but leave your arms exposed.
