Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.

8. A skidding rear tire:

Is not serious.

Eliminates your ability to change direction.

Will usually correct itself.

Is only a concern if the front tire is also skidding.

A skidding rear tire is a dangerous condition that can result in a violent crash and serious injury or death. Too much rear brake pressure can cause the rear wheel to lock. As soon as the rear wheel locks, your ability to change direction is lost. To regain control, the brake must be released.

9. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

10. Convex mirrors make cars seem:

Larger.

Farther away.

Faster.

Narrower.

Rounded, or convex, mirrors provide a wider view of the road than flat mirrors, but they also make objects seem farther away than they actually are.

11. When riding at night, you should do all of the following, except:

Reduce your speed.

Increase your following distance.

Decrease your following distance.

Use your high beam light, if possible.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. Use your high beam headlight, except when following or meeting another vehicle.

12. A motorcyclist is well-protected if they are wearing:

A jacket that allows the arms to be exposed.

Boots with tall heels.

Leather gloves.

Shoes that stop below their ankle.

For your protection while riding, it is best to wear a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely. Boots or shoes should be tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Footwear should have low heels that will not catch on the foot pegs or rough road surfaces. Gloves made of leather or another durable material will help protect your hands in the event of a crash while providing you with an improved grip on the controls.
