Because distances are more difficult to judge in the dark than in daylight, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance when riding at night. Use your high beam any time you are not meeting or following another vehicle.

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

0.06 percent

0.08 percent

16. Passengers should:

Hold onto their seat.

Sit as far back on the bike as possible.

Never hold onto the operator.

17. If another driver is following you too closely, it is best to:

Not worry about them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Speed up.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Increasing your speed may only encourage the driver to tailgate you at a higher speed.
