7. If you wait one hour to ride after having one alcoholic drink:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and driving.

Your riding skills will not be affected by the alcohol.

Effects from the alcohol may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

8. Shifting into a lower gear causes an effect similar to:

Using the brakes.

Accelerating.

Swerving.

Turning.

Shifting your motorcycle into a lower gear causes an effect similar to applying the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

9. What should a motorcyclist do to prevent possible injury when riding on a slippery surface?

Increase their speed.

Reduce their speed.

Make sudden moves.

Ride on the shoulder.

When riding on a slippery surface, it is safest to decrease your speed. Making sudden moves on a slippery surface could cause your motorcycle to skid. Do not travel on the shoulder to escape a slippery road.

10. Signals on a motorcycle:

Are not very important.

Are even more important than signals on larger vehicles.

Should not be used unless another vehicle is right next to the motorcycle.

Are less important than signals on larger vehicles.

Because motorcyclists are more vulnerable than the drivers of cars and trucks, appropriate use of signals by motorcyclists is even more important than it is for other drivers.

11. When choosing clothes for riding, which of the following is not a good choice?

A jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely

Boots or shoes that cover your ankles

Gloves made of leather

A baseball cap to cover your hair

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

12. When you are riding on a bridge grating, you should:

Always ride on the far right side of the lane.

Always ride on the far left side of the lane.

Slowly zigzag across the grating.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Crossing rain grooves or bridge gratings may cause your motorcycle to move in a weaving motion. This is usually not dangerous, so simply relax and proceed across the surface at a steady speed. Trying to ride at an angle to compensate for the weave is dangerous because it forces you to zigzag to stay in your lane.
