1. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In front of the group.

At the rear of the group.

Beside the leader.

In a group of motorcyclists, riders with less experience should be positioned toward the front of the group, just behind the leader. This will allow more experienced riders behind them to keep an eye on them.

2. 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.

3. Your lane position should help you:

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

Keep others from passing you.

Travel to your destination as quickly as possible.

4. Your lane position should:

Protect your lane from other drivers.

Allow you a nice view of scenery.

Place you in other drivers’ blind spots.

Hide your intentions from other drivers.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.

5. When passing another vehicle:

The pass may be completed in a no passing zone.

The rider may travel up to 10 mph over the speed limit to complete the pass.

The pass must be started and completed within a passing zone.

The pass must be completed on the shoulder, if one is present.

Passing must be completed within the posted speed limits, and only in areas where passing is safe and legal.

6. Use your mirrors when stopped at an intersection:

To see if vehicles parked on the sides of the street are entering traffic.

To look for vehicles changing lanes.

To watch for vehicles behind you that may not be slowing down.

To see if someone is planning to turn behind you.

When you are stopped at an intersection, use your mirrors to check for cars approaching you from behind. The drivers may not notice you until they are too close and you may need to react.
