1. Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to:

Accelerating.

Braking.

Swerving.

Turning.

Most motorcycles have a manual transmission. Downshifting to a lower gear will slow you down.

2. The proper body position on a motorcycle:

Allows you to sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips.

Allows you to sit as far back as possible and have to stretch when trying to reach the handle grips.

Makes you lean over the bike, requiring your arms to hold you up.

Allows for your knees to be kept far from the gas tank.

When riding, you should sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips. This will permit you to easily and comfortably reach and operate the controls.

3. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Helps protect your whole face.

Does not protect your face as effectively as goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield protects your entire face in a crash. Goggles protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for a face shield or goggles.

4. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In the front of the group.

Inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader. This ensures that they won't have to chase after the group, and it allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from behind.
