More frequent attention than a car.

To have pre-ride checks performed only by a mechanic.

3. If another driver is following you too closely, it is best to:

Not worry about them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Speed up.

Get off the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Increasing your speed may only encourage the driver to tailgate you at a higher speed.

4. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

Front and rear brakes.

Turn signals.

A windshield wiper.

Two mirrors.

In Hawaii, street-legal motorcycles are required to be equipped with brakes, a headlight, a taillight, a stop lamp, a muffler, a horn, a rearview mirror, and a seat.

6. If you are riding when it starts to rain, it is a good idea to:

Ride down the center of the lane.

Increase your speed.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pull onto the shoulder of the road.

Because of the presence of oil deposits, the center strip of a lane can be hazardous when wet. When rain starts to fall, it is best to ride in the tire tracks left by cars. It is advisable to reduce your speed on wet surfaces.
