Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Illinois

1. A motorcyclist must wear a helmet.

True

False

Though wearing a helmet greatly reduces the risk of a fatal head injury, wearing one is not legally required in Illinois. However, it is highly recommended.

2. Reflective clothing should:

Be worn only at night.

Be worn only during the day.

Not be worn.

Be worn day and night.

Brightly-colored and/or reflective clothing will increase your chances of being seen under any conditions. Remember that most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight so it is still best to wear bright clothing during the day.

3. You should completely check your motorcycle:

Before every ride.

Once a week.

Once a month.

Once a year.

A motorcycle requires more frequent attention than a car. Make a complete check of your motorcycle before every ride.

4. When riding at night, you should do all of the following, except:

Use your high beam.

Use the headlights of vehicles ahead to help you see.

Be visible.

Ride only in the left portion of your lane.

When riding at night, use your high beam (unless you are following or meeting another car), take advantage of the headlights of other vehicles, and wear reflective materials to increase your visibility. You should always be flexible about your lane position, selecting whichever position will help you to see, be seen, and have an adequate space cushion.

5. When passing a row of parked cars to your right when there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should:

Stay toward the right side of your lane.

Stay toward the left side of your lane.

Look to your left frequently.

Use your rearview mirrors more frequently than usual.

When passing a row of parked cars, it is generally best to stay on the side of your lane that is not directly next to the cars. This will help to protect you from potential hazards like car doors being opened or people stepping out from between the cars. If there is traffic coming from the opposite direction, it is a good idea to stay in the center portion of the lane.
