1. Before mounting a motorcycle, you should check all of the following, except:

The air pressure in the tires.

Fluid levels.

The turn signals.

Damage to the paint.

Before getting on a motorcycle, you should check the tread and air pressure of the tires, the oil and fluid levels, the lights, and the signals.

2. If you lock the rear tire on a good traction surface, you should:

Release and re-apply the rear brake.

Keep it locked until you completely stop.

Release the rear brake and only use the front brake.

Release the rear brake and use both brakes to stop.

If you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped. You should still be able to steer your motorcycle with a locked rear wheel.

3. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

4. It is a good idea to wear reflective clothing:

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

5. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

6. During the day, your headlight should:

Not be used.

Be used on its high beam setting.

Be used on its low beam setting.

Alternate between high beam and low beam settings.

Using your high beam headlight during the day increases the likelihood that other drivers will see you. Use your high beam headlight any time you are not riding behind or approaching other vehicles.

7. Reflective clothing should:

Never be worn.

Be worn only during the day.

Be worn only at night.

Be worn day and night.

Most motorcycle crashes occur in broad daylight. Increasing your visibility by wearing bright colors and reflective materials is a good idea at all times.
