8. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

9. In any crash, you have a better chance of avoiding serious injury if you do all of the following, except:

Wear an approved helmet.

Wear face or eye protection.

Wear protective clothing.

Have a windshield.

You can reduce your risk of injury when riding a motorcycle by wearing an approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

10. When changing lanes, riders should:

Rely only on their mirrors to identify other vehicles.

Turn their head to look for traffic behind them.

Not worry about other traffic.

Slam on the brakes to allow any vehicles in their blind spot to pass.

A motorcycle has blind spots just like any other vehicle. A rider must always turn their head to check for traffic before changing lanes.

11. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before.

Not assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before and explain the process.

Not let them ask questions.

Not bother with explaining anything since they are only a passenger and not in control of the motorcycle.

A motorcycle passenger needs to understand how to ensure a safe ride ride for both themselves and the operator. An operator should never assume the passenger already knows what to do. Give a passenger complete instructions before every ride.

12. A group of riders should merge onto a highway in:

A single-file formation.

A staggered formation.

Pairs.

A pyramid formation.

While a staggered formation is usually best under normal riding conditions, a group of riders should switch to a single-file formation when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

13. 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.

14. When riding near stopped or slow-moving cars, a motorcyclist should:

Pull over and wait until traffic begins to move.

Ride on the shoulder to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Weave between the cars to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Not weave between the cars.

Riding between slowed or parked cars can leave you vulnerable to unexpected hazards, such as opening car doors or cars suddenly pulling into traffic. If a hazard arises, you will not have room to safely maneuver. Never travel on the shoulder of a road because other drivers will never expect you to be there.
