In Kentucky, a motorcycle is required to have a rearview mirror; one headlight with high and low beam settings; a taillight; a horn; a muffler and tailpipe; a brake light; front and rear brakes; and good tires. A motorcycle must also be properly registered and covered by liability insurance.

2. When passing another vehicle:

The pass may be completed in a no passing zone.

The rider may travel up to 10 mph over the speed limit to complete the pass.

The pass must be started and completed within a passing zone.

The pass must be completed on the shoulder, if one is present.

Passing must be completed within the posted speed limits, and only in areas where passing is safe and legal.

3. A pre-ride inspection should:

Only take a few minutes.

Take more than an hour.

Be complicated to perform.

Not be done before every ride.

It is important to do a thorough inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. This will usually take you only a few minutes.

4. When riding in curves, turning, or entering a highway, the best group formation is:

Pairs.

Single-file.

Staggered.

Passing.

While riding in a staggered formation is generally the best option when traveling in a group, riders should move into a single-file line through curves, through turns, and when entering or exiting a highway.

5. Common drugs, such as cold tablets:

Can affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Usually won’t affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Pose no risk to a rider's operating abilities.

Are always acceptable to take before riding because they are sold over-the-counter.

Almost all drugs, including over-the-counter medications, have the potential to impact the abilities you need to ride safely. Make sure you understand the side effects of any drug before combining it with riding.

6. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

7. Drivers on an entrance ramp may not see you on the highway. What should you do to help an entering driver merge safely?

Stay in your lane, as it is not your responsibility to be seen.

Change to a lane away from the entrance ramp, if possible.

Move to the shoulder.

Weave within your lane to be more obvious to the entering driver.

To reduce the risk of a collision, always allow merging vehicles plenty of space to safely enter traffic. Change lanes away from the entrance ramp if there is room to do so safely. If there isn't another lane available, adjust your speed to open up space for the merging driver.
