1. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

2. More than half of all crashes:

Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.

Happen at night.

Are caused by worn tires.

Involve riders who have ridden their motorcycles for less than six months.

Always take extra care when riding a new or unfamiliar motorcycle. Most crashes involve riders who have had less than six months of experience with the motorcycle that they are using.

3. To be effective, a face shield should not:

Be free of scratches.

Allow clear views to both sides.

Be airtight.

Fasten securely.

An effective face shield should be free of scratches, be resistant to penetration, allow clear views to both sides, fasten securely, permit air to pass through, and provide enough space for eyeglasses or sunglasses to be worn underneath. It is important for a face shield to permit the passage of air because an airtight face shield can create fogging and make it difficult for a rider to see.

4. If you accidentally lock your rear wheel while braking on a good traction surface, you should:

Keep it locked until you come to a complete stop.

Release the rear brake and only use the front brake.

Release the rear brake, then quickly re-apply it.

Release the rear brake and down shift.

If you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, keep it locked until you have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you should still be able to control your motorcycle if it is upright and traveling in a straight line.

5. As you slow or stop, you should:

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

Take the bike out of gear.

Stay in the same gear.

You should shift down through the gears with the clutch as you slow or stop. Stay in first gear while you are stopped so you can move quickly, if needed.
