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

2. A helmet should not:

Meet U.S. DOT standards.

Fit snugly.

Be without obvious defects.

Have been previously worn in an accident.

You will get the greatest amount of protection from a helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects. A helmet worn at the time of a crash should be replaced.

3. 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.

4. Of the following, which should you not do to improve your safety when riding at night?

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Use your high beam headlight whenever possible.

Increase your following distance.

To ride safely at night, you should reduce your speed, use your high beam headlight when you are not riding near other vehicles, and increase your following distance. Take advantage of vehicles ahead of you to provide clues about the upcoming road. Their headlights may help to illuminate the road ahead and their taillights will bounce up and down if the vehicle is being driven over bumps on the road.

5. A motorcycle rider can reduce the risk of head and neck injuries:

By wearing a helmet.

By wearing a face shield.

By wearing goggles.

By wearing sunglasses.

Wearing a helmet can significantly reduce a motorcyclist's chances of suffering a head or neck injury in the case of an accident. It is recommended that all motorcycle operators and passengers wear a DOT-approved helmet while riding.

6. The front brake:

Provides less than half of a motorcycle's braking power.

Provides about 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power.

Should not be used unless the roadway is wet.

Should be the only brake you use.

The front brake is much more powerful than the rear one and provides at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
