1. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

At high speeds.

After riding for a long time.

Far from home.

On short trips.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on short trips that are less than five miles long at speeds slower than 30 miles per hour.

2. A driver making eye contact with you:

Means that they see you.

Will never happen.

Does not mean that they will properly yield to you.

Guarantees that they will properly yield to you.

You should never count on eye contact to guarantee that a driver will yield to you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist but fail to consciously notice them.

3. Motorcycle riders:

Should wear hearing protection at all times to prevent hearing damage.

Should only wear hearing protection during long rides.

Should not wear hearing protection because it will muffle other noises, such as horns and sirens.

Do not need to use hearing protection if they are using a helmet.

Longterm exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing damage, even if the rider is wearing a full-face helmet. Wearing ear plugs or other hearing protection can guard against damage while still allowing the wearer to hear important sounds like horns and sirens.

4. When going through a curve, you should:

Always stay in the same portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the left portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the right portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Remember that the best path may not follow the curve of the road.

Road and traffic conditions can change at any time. Always be prepared to change your lane position as appropriate no matter where you are on a roadway. The best path through a curve does not necessarily follow the curve of the road.

5. More than half of all crashes:

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

Are caused by faulty ignition systems.

Occur because of distractions caused by passengers.

Happen at night.

Always be very careful when riding a motorcycle that is new to you. In most motorcycle crashes, the operator had less than six months of experience on the bike that they were riding.

6. When passing parked cars, which part of the lane should you usually use?

The left portion of the lane

The center portion of the lane

The right portion of the lane

Either the left or right portion of the lane

When passing a row of parked cars, it is often safest to ride in the left portion of your lane. Riding in the left portion will keep you farthest from any opening car doors, people stepping out from between cars, and cars pulling out of parking spaces.
