1. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

2. The single most effective thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving an accident is:

Wear a helmet.

Read books on motorcycle safety.

Ask others about how to ride more safely.

Watch training videos.

The single most important measure you can take to reduce your risk of injury or death in the event of an accident is to wear a helmet.

3. When selecting a helmet, make sure it is all of the following, except:

Designed to meet U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

Snug.

Defect-free.

Attractive.

You should select a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation and state standards; fits snugly all the way around; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

4. To help other drivers see you, you should wear:

Darkly-colored clothes.

Brightly-colored clothes.

Lights.

A black jacket.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing will help you to be seen by other road users. Wear clothes that increase your visibility both during the day and at night.

5. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

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.

6. Which factor does not play a role in a person’s blood alcohol content (BAC)?

The amount of alcohol consumed

Body weight

How quickly the alcohol was consumed

How often alcohol is consumed

The three major factors that impact a person's blood alcohol content are the amount of alcohol they have consumed, how quickly they have consumed it, and their body weight. The person's sex, physical condition, and food intake may also have some effect.

7. If using a sidecar to transport a load, you should:

Allow the load to move freely.

Secure the load so its weight does not shift.

Place the load unsecured in the seat.

Secure the load near the front of the sidecar.

Loads carried in a sidecar should be secured so that they do not shift and affect the motorcycle's handling. Loads should be distributed toward the rear of the sidecar to reduce tipping of the nose of the sidecar in the event of a sudden left turn.
