1. If you are riding and your motorcycle starts to handle differently, you should:

Continue riding normally.

Pull over and check the tires.

Pull over to check the chain.

Pull over to check the windshield.

A sudden change in handling may indicate that a tire on your motorcycle has failed. If you feel a change in the way your motorcycle handles, pull over safely and check your tires.

2. Passing and being passed when riding a motorcycle is not much different than when driving a car. However:

A motorcycle's visibility is more critical than that of a car.

A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

3. The front brake is:

Safe, if used properly.

Safe, even if used improperly.

Only to be used if the rear brake fails.

Not to be used regularly.

The front brake is safe to use as long as it is used properly. The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake, providing at least three-fourths of the total stopping power.

4. When braking on a slippery surface, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both brakes.

Not use any brakes, but downshift.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should reduce your speed and avoid making sudden moves. Use both brakes if you must slow down or stop.

5. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.
