1. Impairment from drinking alcohol occurs:

Well below the legal limit.

Once reaching the legal limit.

Just above the legal limit.

Well above the legal limit.

It is never safe to operate a motorcycle after consuming any amount of alcohol. Impairment of the skills needed to safely ride begins well below the legal limit.

2. A leather jacket:

Can make a rider look cool.

Is usually too warm to wear when riding.

Provides protection in a crash.

Should not be worn when riding.

For your protection, you should wear a long-sleeved jacket, ideally made of leather, when riding. In warm weather, a leather jacket can help protect you against dehydration. Many motorcycle jackets are designed to help keep you cool even when the weather is hot.

3. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

4. Generally, the body eliminates one alcoholic drink per hour. If a person consumed eight alcoholic drinks four hours ago, how many drinks likely remain in their body?

One drink

Two drinks

Three drinks

Four drinks

The minimum number of drinks left in a person's system can be estimated by subtracting the number of hours since the last drink from the total number of drinks consumed. In this case, the alcohol content of about four drinks would remain.

5. An experienced rider:

Changes positions within their lane as conditions change.

Stays in one portion of a lane at all times.

Weaves within the lane to be more visible.

Travels only on the oily portion of the lane.

Unlike drivers of larger vehicles, a motorcyclist has three lane position options in their travel lane. The rider should select whichever position is safest based on road and traffic conditions.

Continue to hold the brake and the skid should end.

Release the front brake and not use the front brake.

Release the front brake and then quickly squeeze the front brake.
