Kentucky Motorcycle Permit Test

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear an approved 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.

Trying to enter a curve or turn at too fast of a speed may cause you to cross into another lane of traffic or go off of the road entirely.

You should ask your a passenger to lean with you through turns and curves.

While a staggered formation is usually best for groups, they should switch to single-file when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

When being passed, try to avoid being hit by the other vehicle; extended mirrors; objects thrown from windows; and blasts of wind from large vehicles.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including increasing your ability to see others and be seen by them; helping you to avoid blind spots, wind blasts, and surface hazards; protecting your lane from other vehicles; communicating your intentions to others; offering an escape route from hazards; and setting you up for turns.

To reduce the risk of a collision, you should make yourself visible (through clothing, headlight use, and lane position); communicate your intentions to others; maintain an adequate space cushion; search your path of travel 12 seconds ahead; identify and separate hazards; and be prepared to act in response to anything that arises.
