The amount of alcohol consumed

There are several major factors that can affect a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC). A BAC is determined in part by the amount of alcohol someone has consumed, how fast they consumed the alcohol, and their body weight.

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

21. When it starts raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Avoid riding down the center of a lane under wet conditions. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by the cars ahead of you. The left tire track will often be best, but this can vary depending on traffic and other conditions.

22. Before mounting the motorcycle, your pre-ride inspection should include all of the following, except:

A tire check.

A taillight test.

A headlight test.

A paint check.

A pre-ride inspection should include checks of the tires, oil and fluids, lights, signals, clutch, throttle, mirrors, brakes, and horn. Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection before every ride.

23. When entering a curve, a group should:

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in pairs.

Ride on the shoulder.

While riding in a staggered formation is usually best, a group should switch into a single-file formation when turning, taking curves, or entering or exiting a highway.

24. If you wait one hour to ride after having one alcoholic drink:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and driving.

Your riding skills will not be affected by the alcohol.

Effects from the alcohol may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

Requires your arms be used to hold you up.

Allows you to easily reach the controls.

Keeps your arms straight when reaching the handle grips.

Keeps your knees away from the gas tank.

When riding, you should be seated in a posture that allows you to use your arms to steer rather than to hold yourself up. You should not have to stretch to reach the handgrips and your arms should be slightly bent when holding them. You should keep your knees against the gas tank to maintain your balance.
