1. When stopped behind another vehicle, you should:

Get as close as possible to the vehicle.

Maintain a space cushion between your motorcycle and the other vehicle.

Not use your rearview mirrors to monitor traffic behind you.

Look for opportunities to squeeze through the stopped traffic.

You should stay well behind the vehicle in front of you, even when you are both stopped. This will give you room to escape if the vehicle backs up unexpectedly or if another vehicle approaches too quickly from behind.

2. What can help reduce the risk of a head or neck injury in the event of a crash?

Riding on the shoulder

Riding under the speed limit

Wearing a helmet

Not allowing a passenger on the motorcycle

Wearing a helmet is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce the risk of head or neck injuries in the event of a crash.

3. On a slippery surface, you should not:

Reduce your speed.

Avoid making sudden moves.

Use only the front brake when slowing or stopping.

Use both brakes when slowing or stopping.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should use both brakes when slowing or stopping, reduce your speed, and avoid making sudden moves. Be alert to oily areas, dirt, gravel, shaded areas, and bridges, as these surfaces are more likely to be slippery than others.

4. A helmeted rider is _______ more likely to survive a crash than a rider not wearing a helmet.

Two times

Three times

Six times

20 times

No matter the speed, riders who are not wearing helmets are three times more likely to die from head injuries than riders who are wearing helmets at the time of a crash.

5. A way to lower the risk of being involved in a crash is to:

Communicate your intentions to other road users.

Not look ahead while riding.

Wear dark clothes.

Ride in the parts of a lane that make it difficult to be seen.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.
