1. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?

Intersections

Highways

Parking lots

Residential areas

The greatest potential for conflict between your motorcycle and other traffic is at intersections. Be extra alert when riding somewhere where another vehicle may cross in front of your path of travel.

2. When riding a motorcycle on streets and highways, Illinois law requires that:

The headlight be used at all times.

The headlight be used only between dusk and sunrise.

The headlight be used only when there is no bright sunlight.

The headlight be turned off when stopped in traffic.

Illinois law requires a motorcyclist to use their headlight at all times. On all motorcycles sold in the United States since 1978, the headlight should automatically activate when the motorcycle is running.

3. Which of the following is not important when looking for a motorcycle helmet?

The helmet meets U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

The helmet fits snugly all the way around your head.

The helmet has no obvious defects, such as cracks or loose padding.

The helmet looks cool.

To ensure that a helmet will provide you with as much protection as possible, check to see if it meets U.S. DOT and state standards; fits snugly all the way around your head; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

4. When braking, you should use:

Only the front brake.

Only the rear brake.

Both brakes.

Either brake, but never both at the same time.

Always simultaneously use both brakes to stop. The brakes are most effective when used at the same time.

5. Small vehicles can appear and seem to be traveling than they actually are.

Farther away, more slowly

Farther away, faster

Closer, more slowly

Closer, faster

Small vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This phenomenon can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge the location and speed of a smaller vehicle.
