1. Most crashes happen:

At speeds greater than 55 mph.

After several hours of riding.

On short trips.

On long trips.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips that are shorter than five miles in length at speeds slower than 30 mph.

2. If your friend has been drinking alcohol, it is a good idea to do any of the following, except:

Arrange for a safe ride home for your friend.

Occupy your friend with activities to distract them from drinking.

Keep your friend from leaving until they are sober.

Allow your friend to ride their motorcycle.

There are several strategies you can use to prevent someone from riding their motorcycle while impaired. You can arrange another way for them to get home, involve them in other activities to slow the pace of their drinking, use any available excuse to stop them from leaving before they are sober, and get other friends involved to intervene as a group.

3. When being passed by another vehicle, you should:

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the center portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Try to get onto the shoulder.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side of the lane nearest the passing driver increases the danger of a collision, and riding on the side farthest from the passing driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.

4. A motorcycle with a sidecar:

Cannot tip over.

Can tip over if making a turn too fast.

Is designed to take corners at any speed.

Should not be used for loading items.

Even with three wheels on the ground, a sidecar can tip over if it is being turned too sharply or is moving too fast for a corner.

5. Before changing lanes, motorcycle riders should turn their heads to look over their shoulders because:

Motorcycles have blind spots, just like other vehicles.

They can catch the attention of other drivers by turning their heads.

Mirrors are not really helpful.

They should try to make eye contact with surrounding drivers.

Like any other vehicle, a motorcycle has blind spots that cannot be seen by a rider using their mirrors. A motorcyclist should always turn their head to check for vehicles or other hazards in their blind spot before changing lanes.

6. A motorcyclist's cushion of space:

Should always stay the same.

Should vary according to riding conditions.

Is not necessary in most situations.

Should be avoided to keep traffic moving safely.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

7. When loading cargo onto a motorcycle, you should:

Pack heavier items in front of the tank bag.

Pack lighter items near the front.

Try to not place items over the rear axle.

Place items behind the rear axle.

Heavier items should be loaded in front of the tank bag. You should try to place the load over or in front of the rear axle. Putting the load behind the rear axle may affect your control.
